P2A Ambassador: Say Hi to Ellen Noble
We’re excited to welcome former P2A champion and professional cyclist Ellen Noble as a P2A Ambassador! 🚴‍♀️

A past P2A winner, Ellen has gone on to build an incredible career racing at the highest levels of the sport. Known for her grit, talent, and passion for cycling, she continues to inspire riders around the world both on and off the bike.

We’re thrilled to have Ellen back as part of the P2A community this year and can’t wait to see her out on course connecting with riders and sharing in the excitement of race day.

Support John and Tim on their First P2A Ride
After more than 30 years of helping lead and grow P2A, former co-race directors Tim Farrar and John Thorpe are experiencing the event from a new perspective this year — as riders. For the first time after decades of organizing the race, Tim and John will be taking on the course themselves, and they’re doing it with a purpose.

As part of their ride, they’re raising funds in support of St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation, helping fund vital healthcare initiatives in the Hamilton community. We’re excited to see them out on course and proud to support their ride for such a meaningful cause.

Your Ride Can Fuel Health Research that Saves Lives
Riders in Paris to Ancaster are encouraged to consider raising funds for our official charity partner, St. Joseph’s Healthcare Foundation. You can make a donation at the time of registration or share your fundraising page via social, text or email and ask your family and friends to support your ride with a fully tax-receiptable donation. Every gift helps to fund groundbreaking health research at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. Wondering why it matters? Well, let’s start with the fact that St. Joe’s Researchers are Reducing Prostate Cancer Recurrence Rates.  Read more about research at St. Joe’s in our email updates on P2A or follow us on social!
