Thousands participate in 30th Annual Paris to Ancaster Race

The 30th Annual Paris to Ancaster Bicycle Race has tested the strength and endurance of cyclists for decades, with the start of the famous race right here in Paris, Ontario. The Paris to Ancaster race debuted in 1994 and takes participants down 110 km on the roughest farm lanes, trails and gravel roads in the area as a nod to its namesake and inspiration – Paris to Roubaix! Thousands of cyclists participate in this test of the fittest each year, rain or shine (and cyclists saw both this year)! On April 28th, more than 3,000 cyclists became a part of history in this unique race dubbed Canada’s Spring Cycling Classic. Since its inception in 1994, the race has raised close to $500,000 for St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton Foundation.
