On Friday, September 5, racers can pick up their bib numbers (or “late” register) at the Alma Brewing Company in downtown Alma from 6-8 p.m. The first 25 racers to do so will get a free custom Alma GP / Alma Brewing Company pint glass! On race day the top five category finishers will win awesome swag from Eclipse Cycling, Pace Sportswear, Corset Shop Intimates (YES! Not kidding!), The Sufferfest, and Ass-Savers. Our women’s categories are sponsored by Mountain Khakis and will once again be great races to watch! Our local Biggby coffee will have some warm caffeinated roast on site for those that are at the venue really early…
The United Dairy Industry of Michigan is sponsoring the registration tent, which will also host a few vendors on race day. TP Logos has created all of the amazing artwork for the Alma GP including pint glasses ($5) and t-shirts ($15) available on race day only. The fine folks at Seals, Tacia, Bartz, Zainea, & Whitmore optometry have not only helped create the course, but they’re also sponsoring the beginner categories with a coupon to help offset USA Cycling’s one-day license fee (if you know of a newbie racing at Alma have them e-mail me for the code!)
Cannondale, Wolf Tooth Components, Backcountry Research, Bondi Band, Hammer Nutrition, and Nite Rider are all stepping up with some awesome swag to give away during the two raffle slots after each awards ceremony (12:15 and 3:00 p.m.).
