Paris to Ancaster Bike Race

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. We welcome the largest field of riders assembled in Canada for the Paris to Ancaster 2024. Join us on April 28 2024 to become part of the history of this unique race.

P2A 2024 RACE

After the Epic of the 2023 P2A and the first ever Canadian Gravel Championships we are starting to look ahead to next year. It was in April 1994 that the first P2A took place so 2024 is a historic landmark for us. We obviously have no idea what the conditions will be like next year. In 2022 it was likely the warmest P2A ever and then there was 2023.....

As we say elsewhere on this web site spring weather in Southern Ontario can be unpredictable. Our working date is April 28th 2024. There are a lot of things for us to get in place for that date but we are confident that we will accomplish what we need to do to once again bring you an amazing race.

We would also like to take this opportunity to once again thank all of our sponsors, the land owners who graciously let us use their property, the municipalities that we ride through, and of course our fantastic team of volunteers. The P2A wouldn't happen without the help of everyone. Thank you all once again and we look forward to working with you again!
