At the 2016 Amgen Tour of California, May 15 to 22, fans can dive deep into the world of cycling with special VIP Experiences created exclusively for the Amgen Tour of California.

Each custom-designed experience will bring them closer to the action as the world’s most talented and decorated men and women cyclists compete over the state’s most stunning and challenging highways, byways and coastline roads.

In addition to the popular “personalized” VIP Experiences, thousands more fans will have the opportunity to be treated like VIPs at the race’s popular Lifestyle Festival held adjacent to the finish line each day of the race.

Designed to provide and promote healthy lifestyle and cycling-related experiences, the Lifestyle Festival provides a day of entertainment and fun for the whole family. The Lifestyle Festival serves as the central hub for fans to interact with more than 40 exhibitors and other enthusiasts as they wait for the cyclists to cross the finish line.

The daylong event will feature cycling-themed products and demos, cancer and cardiovascular awareness education, family activities, food, entertainment and more. Visitors can congregate among fellow race watchers, take in live music, grab a beverage in the Michelob Ultra Beer Garden and watch the race live on outdoor video screens.

A schedule will be available at www.amgentourofcalifornia.com/sponsorship/2016festival closer to the race.

To raise awareness around two of the world’s most serious illnesses and connect with patients, title sponsor Amgen will host two booths; Breakaway from Cancer® and Breakaway from Heart DiseaseTM at the Lifestyle Festival.

Breakaway from Cancer®, is a national initiative to increase awareness of important resources available to people affected by cancer – from prevention through survivorship. Representatives from Amgen’s four Breakaway from Cancer® nonprofit partners will be on-site, offering information and support for festivalgoers who are interested in prevention, facing a new diagnosis, caring for a loved one, or struggling with financial issues.

Amgen’s newest initiative Breakaway from Heart DiseaseTM will encourage Americans to help take charge of their heart health by understanding their family’s history of heart disease and getting active through cycling.
