The 2010 Univest Grand Prix begins on Saturday, September 11 with the unveiling of the new Souderton-Franconia-Telford racecourse. The reformatted, figure-8 design promises superb spectator views and dynamic racing. This UCI 1.2 (International Cycling Union-sanctioned, international Pro/Am) competition, listed on both the UCI America Tour and USA Cycling Pro Tour calendars, has long been considered as a career-making race for young professionals and top amateurs. Professional talent scouts are always in attendance on the lookout for top young performers at the "Univest". A young Tom Boonen was second as an amateur in the 2000, and Slipstreams's Will Frischkorn scored his first professional win in Souderton in 2007.

More than 150 professional riders from over seventeen countries will compete and fans can follow them on the live jumbotron in Souderton, through live television coverage on WFMZ-69, and with the post-event summary program on Comcast SportsNet. The recreational Cyclosportif ride, children's races, regional foods, and the Souderton family fair make Saturday's Univest Grand Prix an extraordinary community celebration.

Sunday's Univest Criterium of Doylestown is held in the heart of Bucks County, on a spectacular 1.4-mile racecourse that encircles the famed Victorian town. Their annual Arts Festival is located in the center of the racecourse, allowing spectators to wander through the festival on the way to different views of the race. The criterium format, with its fast swooping downhill turns and grinding climb to the top-of-town finish line provides the most exciting views of a professional bicycle race imaginable. And the sprint finish is alway a wild affair. Go to the Arts Festival, watch the race and eat some great food. Doylestown has it all on Sunday, September 12th.
