The Sunshine Grand Prix is an annual Professional & Amateur Cycling and Fun & Healthy Community Living event. This week long event will take place during the week of March 25 to April 2, 2017.
The 2nd edition of the Sunshine Grand Prix starts in St. Petersburg on Saturday, March 24 and ends in Brooksville on Sunday, April 2, and the Inverness Airport will host the start of the racing portion of the event on Friday, March 31, from 1pm to 6pm. The event is free and open to the public.
