One of the longest-running gravel races, Paris to Ancaster, will be part of the UCI Gravel World Series in 2025. Drawing inspiration from Paris-Roubaix, the Paris to Ancaster race in Ontario has been held since 1994, taking riders through some of the toughest farm lanes, trails, and gravel roads available.
The 2025 edition will take place on April 27. In 2023, the race, known by many as P2A, was the host of the first-ever Canadian national gravel championships. As part of the 2025 gravel racing season, the P2A will be an important event for gravel riders in Canada.
The UCI Gravel World Series will grow in 2025, adding 15 new races for a total of 34 events. The format will remain the same, with both licensed and unlicensed riders having the opportunity to qualify for the gravel world championships by finishing in the top 25 per cent of their category.
