The course
The classic 70 km Paris to Ancaster course, from Paris to Ancaster, Ontario, on gravel roads, trails and muddy descents.
The start is in Paris, Ontario. The course follows the Grand River along East River Road, crosses Glen Morris and St George, then heads east on Sager Road and Harrisburg Road. The highest point, at 301 metres, comes at km 16. The finale is the legendary part of the race: the muddy descent of Powerline Road, Slote Road, then the climb up Martin Road — the main climb, about 85 metres in the last two kilometres — to the finish in Ancaster. This is the exact route plotted here — every turn at its precise intersection.

Add a name, finish time or short dedication to turn the artwork into a personal record of the work behind the medal. Personalization is optional; leave the field blank for the original composition.
How It Is Made
The composition, hierarchy and final linework are directed by a person. A pen plotter then draws the artwork physically, line by line, with ink on paper. Small production variations can occur during physical plotting.
