The tenth annual Bluewater International Granfondo plans to celebrate a decade of welcoming cylists to Lambton County's Bluewaterland.
Starting and finishing in the City of Sarnia’s beautiful Mike Weir Park, there are four routes to choose from, all of which have some outstanding views of Lambton County; including, finishing along the stunning shores of Lake Huron. There is no start to finish time as in traditional racing formats but rather timed sections that count toward the riders competition time. This means you can take your time between race sections, stop at the Fuel Stations and regroup to enjoy the ride with your friends and teammates. At the finish, a hot meal and beverage awaits you, where you can sit with fellow riders while listening to a live band . This event is a must do for both cycling enthusiasts and first timers.
Whether you are looking to experience the enjoyment of riding on quiet country roads and thriving fruit orchards or challenge yourself on the rolling hills of Arkona, you will find it all in this area of outstanding natural beauty.

Causes We Support
Check out the charities we support below:
Bluewater Palliative Care Retreat
A significant amount of funds raised through the Bluewater International Granfondo has supported the Bluewater Palliative Care Retreat (BPCR) which hosted its fifth event in the Fall of 2023. The BPCR is an accredited event attended by physicians, nurses, pharmacists, spiritual care providers and volunteers to hear presentations from world renowned palliative care leaders on topics ranging from the most recent advances in palliative care to the importance of self-care for health care workers. This focus on education allows for the development of knowledge and skills in those who attend while promoting working relationships and practices between palliative care organizations in the community. This, in turn, positively impacts all those who receive care from these organizations.
Palliative Care at Bluewater Health
Palliative Care at Bluewater Health is supported by dedicated palliative physicians nurses who care for patients in hospital, community and in clinics. In addition to the staff that work on the unit, Bluewater Health has a full-time palliative care nurse navigator who provides basic palliative care and is a palliative resource and support for all staff. With strong partnerships between hospital and community, local and regional cancer centres, palliative care in Sarnia-Lambton focuses on patient and family-centered care that is compassionate, holistic, and individualized. The Palliative Unit at Bluewater Health was founded by Dr. Linda Bowring over 25 years ago and is named in her honour.
St Joseph’s Hospice
St Joseph’s Hospice has been supporting terminally ill people in our community as they face their illnesses since 2005. The Hospice also offers support programs for people who are caring for or grieving the loss of a loved one. In addition to this, in December 2009 St. Joseph’s Hospice opened its doors as a Residential Hospice on Christina Street Sarnia. This home-like, ten suite residence provides 24-hour specialized palliative care, free of charge, to people living with a life-threatening illness. The hospice is a non-profit organization serving Sarnia Lambton with a highly skilled professional staff, and over 375 volunteers.
