Indy Cycling Challenge to support Prostate Cancer Canada

Cycling enthusiasts have the opportunity to band together for a great cause while experiencing the Honda Indy Toronto like never before.

Teams composed of four riders each can register now to compete in the Indy Cycling Challenge held on July 13, 2017, on the 2.89km temporary race circuit at Exhibition Place.

The Indy Cycling Challenge is organized to broaden awareness and raise funds for the mission of Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC). Special guests supporting this inaugural event include official ambassador, Curt Hartnett, a four-time Canadian Olympian winning three Olympic medals and many additional international competitions, and Steve Fleck, an avid cyclist, runner and triathlete plus leading endurance sports race and event announcer, as the emcee of the cycling festivities.

“The Honda Indy Toronto is an iconic global motorsports event, and this year it takes on an even greater significance. We’re joining with Prostate Cancer Canada in the fight against this disease,” said Jeff Atkinson, president of the Honda Indy Toronto. “Men and women participating in the Indy Cycling Challenge will fiercely compete on the same track before the INDYCAR and NASCAR drivers do.”

The competition will be organized into three separate divisions: Men’s, Women’s and Corporate Challenges. Teams will complete 12 laps totalling 34.68km with each cyclist doing three laps. The racing route features exceptional views of Princes’ Gates, BMO Field and the Lakeshore.

Registration will start at 2 pm on Thursday July 13 and the first race will start at 4 pm. Registration includes race entry, team donor challenge page, race jersey, towel, single-day Bronze level tickets to the Honda Indy Toronto, and other benefits. For every $100 in donations, participant earns a chance to win a new bicycle. On site bike maintenance will be available if needed.
