As a First Responder, you show your dedication every day. You are committed to your community and to your teammates. The Ontario First Responders Road Cycling Championships will give you an opportunity to showcase your dedication to the sport of cycling while taking part in a terrific community event.

The Ontario First Responders Road Cycling Championship is open to active and retired sworn and civilian members of the police, fire, border services and paramedic communities as well as student’s in those respective programs. The unique format of the Championship allows the riders to enjoy a casual ride or to “ride to win”. The ride will consist of a 100km route, which is part of the Bluewater International Granfondo. Within the 100km, are three timed sections during which you can race for the championship.

By utilizing timed sections instead of a start to finish race, teams are afforded the opportunity to regroup and ride together, and enjoy the terrific cycling and support of the Bluewater International Granfondo. The winners will be riders who finish the 100km route and post the fastest cumulative time in the three sections. Bragging rights for the year and Ontario’s First Responders Road Cycling Champion will be awarded to the male and female with the fastest overall time across the three timed sections.

Post ride, cyclists can join in with all 1000 BIG participants in the Apres Event area for food, beverages and a live band.
