The Lincoln Grand Prix and ITP Events have joined forces to create a unified programme of events planned to take place on 12, 13 and 14 of May 2017.

The event is expected to attract cycling enthusiasts from across the East Midlands region and across the country to take part in the Lincoln Criterium, Lincoln GP Sportive, Lincoln Uphill Dash and the Men’s and Women’s Lincoln Grand Prix.

Dan Ellmore for The Lincoln Grand Prix said:

“The 2017 event will be bigger and better than ever and won’t disappoint. By working together we’re proud to be protecting the future of Britain’s oldest remaining classic one-day cycle race and a proportion of the Sportive entry fee will contribute toward the Grand Prix.”
