Give the Gift of Racing to Win


Whether it be for yourself or to introduce family or friends to our incredible sport, consider giving the gift  of racing this Christmas.

As an added incentive, we will give away a prize every Friday for the next five weeks. 

Timex Canada  watches will be awarded for the first 3 weeks, a   Nineteen Wetsuits Pipeline SL for week 4, and courtesy of  D'Ornellas Bike Shop , a Felt FR60 for the final week.  

To be eligible for the draw each Friday, you must have registered for at least one race prior to the draw. 

The earlier you register, the more chances you have to win. And if you do win a watch, you will be still eligible to win the wetsuit OR bike if you happen to be that lucky. 


Our first week's winner is Frank Howlett from Stayner. The 80 year old series regular is set to race at Gravenhurst for the 6th time.

Highway of Heroes Bike Ride 2018
