Lincoln's popular and fast growing University has joined forces with The Lincoln Grand Prix and become one of the race's major sponsors.The link between the race and the University highlights both the importance of the race on the City's calendar but also the work being done by the University in the field of sport. The University of Lincoln is a major supporter of sport in Lincolnshire with numerous Sports-related study programmes at the University of Lincoln. These include: Sport and Exercise Science, Sport Development and Coaching, Sports Business Management, Sports Marketing, Sports Tourism Management, Equine Sports Science, Golf Science and Development.

The University is also a sponsor of Lincoln City Football Club with its logo appearing on the team's away strip.

Head of University Marketing, Richard Huthwaite who negotiated the arrangement on behalf of the University says ' that as a major supporter of sport in Lincolnshire, the University of Lincoln is very proud to sponsor the 55th Lincoln Grand Prix - one celebrated institution supporting another! The University wishes all the riders, teams, spectators and the organisation the best of luck for what is sure to be another exciting race'

Robin Wright, the Director of Sport at the University added ' this newly created partnership with Lincoln Grand Prix, highlights the University’s commitment to work alongside the sporting community of Lincolnshire and support the aspiring level of excellence of this event nationally. Shortly the University of Lincoln will be opening an extension to its existing Human Performance Centre for sports performance enhancement to elite level; within the Centre there is already a focus on cycling performance development'

Race Organiser, Ian Emmerson who was honoured by the University last November with a Honorary Degree of a Doctor of Science welcomed the support of the University for the polular one day classic event. 'This support from the City's fast growing University links the event with the 10,000 students on the Campus and will ensure that the race goes from strength to stength as Lincoln's major international sporting fixture. The work being done by the University in the many aspects of sports science and management will be of enormous benefit to our current and future athletes'

The race is on May 9th starting at 10 am and finishing in Lincoln's Castle Square after 11 laps of the 8 mile circuit at 1.30 pm.
