For over a century the roads of northern Europe have been home to the toughest bicycle races in the world. The most famous of these, Paris to Roubaix, takes place each spring over brutal cobblestone roads that have been preserved in their historic condition for over 100 years. Inspired by this classic race, the Paris to Ancaster has taken place since 1994 over the roughest farm lanes, trails and gravel roads we can find. In 2023 we welcomed the largest field of riders assembled in Canada for the P2A and the first ever Canadian Gravel Championships. For 2025 we are proud to be part of the UCI Gravel World Series, and the only Canadian qualifier in the series.
We are pleased to announce that our 30th event will take place on Sunday April 27, 2025. Registration will be opening Monday December 2, 2024. Full Details are available on the P2A web site and through our social media. Stay tuned and hope to see you in 2025!
