Add to My Favourites

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 are pleased to announce that our 31st event will take place on Sunday April 26, 2026. Registration opened October 15, 2025. Full Details are available on the P2A web site and through our social media. Stay tuned and hope to see you in 2026!
