Standing behind the fences and at the sidelines, most spectators come within an arm's length of the racers at the Nature Valley Grand Prix. Host families, who house the racers and the team support personnel, get even closer.
While the level of interaction varies from house to house (some hosts prepare dinner for the riders, others simply offer up their spare room), the riders and the host families always enjoy some quality time together. Many of the host families even come to think of their guests as "their" racers.
Host housing helps Children’s Hospitals and Clinics because it brings more racers to our events. The program is usually scrambling to find enough space to accommodate all of the riders and teams who want to use host housing, so please consider signing up for this very rewarding program.
