Road to Roubaix

Road to Roubaix is a road cycling event based in Montreal, with a mission to raise funds for the neonatal emergency unit at the Ste-Justine Hospital. This unit provides essential medical care to newborns in need, and the funds raised go towards purchasing vital neonatal emergency equipment and providing financial support through donations and sponsorships. By participating in Road to Roubaix, cyclists can make a direct impact on saving lives and supporting those who rely on this unit for medical care.

The event is inspired by the legendary cyclist Leon Vandeale, who became a professional racer in 1952 and went on to achieve great success in races such as Paris-Roubaix. Vandeale's triumph in the challenging Paris-Roubaix race serves as a symbol of determination and perseverance, embodying the spirit of the Road to Roubaix event. With a focus on fundraising and community support, participants can follow in Vandeale's footsteps and make a difference for newborns in need of medical care.

Participants can test their endurance and skill while raising awareness and funds for a crucial cause. The event is open to cyclists of all levels, from beginners to experienced riders, who share a passion for cycling and a commitment to supporting the neonatal emergency unit at Ste-Justine Hospital.
