The race must go on<br />
Glencoe Grand Prix<br />
still on for June 2<br />
after large sponsor<br />
withdrawals<br />
Megan Bernard, Editor<br />
Although “one of the<br />
biggest sponsors” withdrew<br />
from the Glencoe<br />
Grand Prix, the annual<br />
bike race isn’t hitting the<br />
brakes.<br />
The Glencoe Grand<br />
Prix, a one-day road criterium<br />
race, is scheduled<br />
this year for June 2. It is<br />
the largest fundraiser for<br />
the Glencoe Educational<br />
Foundation, which supports<br />
educational projects<br />
in Glencoe and three sister<br />
schools in Chicagoland, its<br />
website stated.<br />
The Anchor was reached<br />
by a concerned resident,<br />
who claimed the race<br />
wouldn’t continue if the<br />
lost sponsorship was not<br />
replaced immediately.<br />
After the funding loss,<br />
however, the president of<br />
the race, David Metrick,<br />
said he reached out to more<br />
than 20 existing sponsors<br />
to request higher donations<br />
and was successful.<br />
“The race was never in<br />
danger, but the sponsor did<br />
pull out at the last minute,”<br />
said Metrick, who is also<br />
the president of the Glencoe<br />
Education Foundation.<br />
“I usually make these (fundraising)<br />
calls May 1, so<br />
this year it was just pushed<br />
up earlier.<br />
“Everything will continue<br />
as normal now. We are<br />
good to go.”<br />

Metrick would not confirm<br />
the lost sponsor name<br />
or reason why they withdrew<br />
for legal reasons.<br />
The 2018 Glencoe<br />
Grand Prix will be the<br />
12th annual race. Last<br />
year, world champion<br />
Chloé Dygert Owen raced<br />
in the Glencoe Grand Prix.<br />
There were two racecourses,<br />
which were identical<br />
to those used since 2015.<br />
Each course ran clockwise<br />
with the start and finish<br />
located on Vernon Avenue<br />
between Hazel Avenue and<br />
Temple Court. More info<br />
about the 2018 race has yet<br />
to be released.<br />
