The Wilmington Grand Prix, one of the premier criterium-style bike races in the U.S., will return for its 18th edition May 15-17, 2026. 

 

“Nothing beats the kickoff event on Monkey Hill with its festival atmosphere,” said WGP Race Director Laura Van Gilder (Crespo, Pa.), one of the winningest female racers in USAC history. “Then there’s the high-speed racing with the pros on Saturday downtown, and the scenic Gran Fondo ride on Sunday through picturesque Northern Delaware. The Grand Prix weekend is steeped in tradition for racers and the local community.”

 

“The Wilmington Grand Prix is one of my favorite races,” said two-time women’s winner Tina Pic of Gainesville, Ga. The course is fast, technical, challenging and ends on a great hill. I was lucky enough to stay and ride the Gran Fondo. What a beautiful and well- supported event. You shouldn’t miss this one whether you are racing or just there for the Fondo.”

 

The action starts Friday night with the Monkey Hill Time Trial, a 3.2-mile race against the clock through Wilmington’s Brandywine Park. Saturday will feature the Major Taylor Community Ride at 11am followed by men’s and women’s professional and amateur racing. Sunday will see the return of the 12th Annual Governor’s Ride and the 10th Annual Delaware Gran Fondo. Last year’s Gran Fondo attracted cyclists from 19 states (including Texas, Colorado and Florida) and 7 countries (including Australia, Great Britain, Mexico and Canada) by offering them a scenic tour through the Brandywine Valley and some of Delaware’s most-prized cultural attractions.
