May 13, 2009 (Devon) – The Canadian Cycling Association announced the Town of Devon to host the Masters, Para-cycling, Junior and U17 races for the 2010 Road National Cycling Championships. From June 25 to July 5, 2010, more than 500 of Canada’s top cyclists will descend upon Devon for a chance to become Canada’s Top Road Cyclist. Athletes will be competing for National Championship jerseys in three road cycling events: criterium, individual time trial and road race.

“We are honored to have been chosen as a host community for the 2010 Road National Cycling Championships. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the sport of cycling to our community, to encourage active living and to share our spirit with the country. We are thrilled to see that in just three years the Morgan Devon Grand Prix of Cycling has not only become one of the largest stage races in Alberta but in 2010 it will be part of the largest cycling event in the country! We are looking forward to rolling out the red carpet and giving the athletes the royal treatment,” says Town of Devon Mayor, Anita Fisher.

As the host city Edmonton will hold the Elite and U23 races on the first weekend, with the National Criterium Championships occurring at the Alberta Legislature on Canada Day. The Devon events will occur on the second weekend (July 2-4, 2010)

Canadian Cycling Association announces 2010 Road National Cycling ChampionshipsCourtesy CCAThe Canadian Cycling Association is pleased to announce Edmonton, Alberta as host city for the 2010 Road National Cycling Championships. From June 25 – July 5, 2010, more than 500 of Canada’s top cyclist will descend upon Edmonton for a chance to become Canada’s Top Road Cyclist.

 “Edmonton is increasingly becoming a hub for cycling in western Canada and the Alberta Bicycle Association is excited to be bringing another National Championship race to Alberta,” said Kipp Kaufmann, Executive Director of the Alberta Bicycle Association. “Edmonton has a long tradition of communitywide support and passion for sport events.”

The races will be run by an organizing committee that includes veteran organizers from a variety of cycling clubs in Edmonton. 

Athletes will be competing for the National Championship jerseys in three road cycling events: criterium, individual time trial and road race. The first weekend will play host to the under 23 and Elite individual time trial and road race, which will take place within the City of Edmonton. Similar courses that were used in the World Masters Games are being investigated.

The Masters, Para-cycling, Junior and U17 races will take place during the second weekend just outside of Edmonton in the city of Devon. The host of the Devon Stage Race, one of Alberta’s largest stage races, will be rolling out the red carpet for the athletes.

The National Criterium Championships will take place on Canada Day at the Alberta Legislature. The spectator friendly event is expected to attract large crowds. http://www.canadian-cycling.com/cca/media/news/2009/0512_2010road.shtml

Alldritt Development Limited  http://www.alldrittgroup.com/

Alldritt Development Limited has been supportive of the Grand Prix since the first event, allowing the race to use their properties and facilities for the race location and headquarters.  Without this support the race would not be possible in the downtown core, one of the key aspects that makes the race so appealing to racers and accessible to spectators.  Alldritt is very involved with the development of the Town of Devon, and particularily with the downtown area, in the heart of Devon.
