The Nature Valley Grand Prix is the top ranked women’s race in North America and one of the top three for men. It’s also the only race among the USA grand tours that admits amateurs. Amateurs get to line up with top professionals, including World and Olympic champions, and race in front of huge, enthusiastic crowds.

At the Nature Valley Grand Prix, amateurs are recognized with special Nature Valley Top Amateur jerseys that are awarded to the best-placed amateurs in the men’s and women’s races. These are unique opportunities to be “discovered” by the pro team managers who are always looking for new talent. Every year, the Nature Valley Top Amateurs have earned pro team contracts the following season.
