The world governing body of professional cycling Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) selected Greenville, South Carolina to host the UCI Para-Cycling Road World Championships in September 2014. This event is projected to include more than 450 athletes and 200 coaches and staff from over 45 countries. The five-day competition is scheduled for August 28 - September 1, 2014, which is Labor Day weekend. The economic impact and exposure for the Upstate will be significant. Based on a recent economic impact study from the data collected from participants and spectators at the Para-Cycling Road World Championships held in Canada 2010, Greenville should anticipate more than $4.5 million for the local economy. The Greenville 2014 bid was a collaborative effort between the City of Greenville, U.S. Handcycling (Evergreen, CO), Medalist Sports (Atlanta, GA) and Notus Sports, a developing South Carolina non-profit organization focused on bringing events to the Upstate. "We are honored as a contributor to worldwide Olympic and Paralympic sport, to continue to host world events on U.S. soil, and especially in Greenville, which has a rich history of hosting successful national cycling races," said UCI Executive Board Member and U.S. Olympic Committee Board Member Mike Plant.
