Our race is successful because of our sponsors and the city of Manhattan Beach. Several sponsors have been with us for many years. As the title sponsor for the past 24 years, Chevron has been instrumental in the growing success of the MBGP. We are all grateful for their continued support of the race. Please take a minute to visit Chevron and all of our major sponsor web sites for more information on their products and services.



Chevron  is the title sponsor of the internationally-known Manhattan Beach Grand Prix bike race, held in spring/summer. This year is the 103rd year anniversary of Chevron's El Segundo Refinery. During its hundred+ years in the South Bay, Chevron has been an active member of the community providing goods, volunteer time, donations to our local schools, civic organizations, health services and environmental entities. Chevron's generous support of the South Bay Wheelmen Foundation makes it possible for that charitible community organization to provide education, training, and support to amateur cycling competition nationwide.

Rover Rescue is a non-profit organization founded in 2001 to save as many homeless dogs as we can and place them in permanent and loving homes. We know that somewhere nearby a person or family yearns for one of these special dogs.

From the moment we rescue a dog we start changing its life for the better: Each dog is placed in a caring foster home or boarded until the right owner is found. During their stay with Rover Rescue, volunteers walk, socialize and give these dogs the loving care they need. Injured or sick dogs are given proper medical attention. Dogs are vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and even given “beauty makeovers”. We make a special effort to match prospective owners with the right dog during the adoption process to make sure each of our dogs will never become homeless again. And we help educate new owners on the proper care of their new best friends.

In addition, Rover Rescue works hard in our community to reduce animal overpopulation and increase vital awareness about responsible pet ownership. We actively support spaying and neutering of all companion dogs and offer spay/neuter financial assistance to low-income families. There are many ways you can pitch in to transform the lives of dogs and humans, and make happy tails come true – 100% of our support comes from donations and volunteers. Help us keep going...
