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!
