When the blast off begins in early April for a fourth edition of the Life Time Grand Prix, this time at the new Life Time Sea Otter Classic Gravel, a new generation of off-road racers will steal part of the spotlight. Cyclists between the ages of 18 to 22 can not only gauge their talents against star-studded fields in some of the biggest US off-road races, but they can also claim two spots in the Life Time Grand Prix for 2026.
The initial application process was launched last December for the Life Time Grand Prix U23 Development Program. This week, organisers announced major changes, including a revised selection process and an extension for women's registrations, now open through February 28.
