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 2025. Join us on April 27 2025 to become part of the history of this unique race, Canada's Spring Cycling Classic.

START IN PARIS, FINISH IN NICE! APRIL 27 2025

UCI Gravel Series

Where the heck is Nice Ontario? I thought the finish was in Ancaster! There is no Nice Ontario (at least that we could find). What the title above means is that if you are doing the P2A as the UCI Gravel World Series if you qualify you could finish your season at the Gravel World Championships in Nice, France this October. And there is most definitely a Paris Ontario!

Registration for P2A 2025 is coming along very well. Thanks so much for your support. There are lots of new features including he UCI Gravel World Series of which the P2A is a qualifying event. Don't worry though. The Classic and the Breve continue as before with a great challenge for all levels of riders.

Do you want to challenge yourself over a longer distance and against the clock? Sign up for the OPEN CENTO - INDIVIDUAL CHALLENGE. You get to ride the over 110km distance of the Cento with all of the hills and mud. As an open race there are no age restrictions (other than a minimum of 15 years old) which is perfect for those outside of the UCI age categories or for those who don't want to attempt to qualify for the Gravel World Championships.

Please be aware that there are number limits to lots of the P2A features, and also field limits to the various starts. Once they are filled we can't offer any more spots. Register early and don't miss out.
