The Dalton Grand Prix brought two days of fast-paced cycling, competition, and community spirit to our area—all while raising more than $10,000 for United Way of Northwest Georgia.

Cyclists took to courses throughout Dalton and Whitfield County for a full weekend of racing, bringing together athletes, families, volunteers, sponsors, and spectators for an event that continues to be a favorite summer tradition in our community.

From the first race to the final finish, the weekend was powered by people who showed up ready to make it a success.

It Takes a Community

Behind every race is an incredible team of volunteers. Throughout the weekend, United Way volunteers helped with registration, supported racers along the course, served as corner marshals, welcomed participants, and stepped in wherever they were needed.

We are incredibly grateful to every volunteer who gave their time—and to every racer who took on the course and every spectator who came out to cheer them on.

The Dalton Grand Prix also would not be possible without the businesses and individuals who invest in this event and in our community. 

A special thank you to Textile Rubber & Chemical Company, our Presenting Sponsor, for helping make this year's race weekend possible.

We are also grateful for the generous support of Engineered Floors, Regions, Bryan & Debbie Macon, Southern Velo, Shaw Industries, Marketing Alliance Group, Textile & Industrial Sales, Rec Group, Nichols Cauley, Mohawk, East Ridge Bicycle, Coldwell Banker/Kinard Realty, Builtwell, American Air, AIS, Southern Janitorial, Screen Door Provisions, Dalton Utilities, and BDL Advisors.

And no race weekend is complete without something good to eat! Thank you to GA Tacos and Una Mas for joining us throughout the weekend and keeping our racers, volunteers, and spectators fueled and refreshed.

Racing for More

The Dalton Grand Prix is about more than who crosses the finish line first. Together, this year's event raised more than $10,000 in just one weekend to support United Way of Northwest Georgia and the work happening right here in our community.

Those dollars help create opportunities for local children and families, strengthen financial stability, build a healthier community, and connect our neighbors with resources and support when they need it most.

That's what makes weekends like this so special. Every mile raced, every volunteer hour given, every sponsorship, and every person who showed up helped turn a weekend of competition into something bigger.

To our racers, volunteers, sponsors, supporters, and spectators: thank you for making the 2026 Dalton Grand Prix one to remember.

We couldn't have done it without you, and we can't wait to see you at the starting line next year!

United is the Way.
