Event Start Location
The ride begins and ends at Montour Trail mile “0” located at Rt 51 and Montour Road, just off of I-79 and the Coraopolis Bridge that connects to Neville Island.
Course Description
The Montour Trail is a planned 60 mile multi-use non-motorized recreational rail-trail system near Pittsburgh, PA. It will ultimately have 46 continuous miles from Coraopolis to Clairton. Multiple sections of the trail system totaling 47 miles are completed, and new sections are added each year.
The trail is paved with a smooth surface of crushed limestone, which makes it ideal for all forms of non-motorized use: bicycling, walking, running, cross-country skiing, and nature appreciation. In certain sections, horseback riding is also permitted, but not on the improved trail surface.
A portion of the trail within Peters Township is called The Arrowhead Trail. It is owned and maintained by the Township.
Packet Pickup / Expo
Packet Pickup will be held Thursday, September 19th at the Settlers Ridge REI Store from 6:30pm to 8:30pm.
Weather
We're expecting lots of sunshine !
Directions
From the South, take the Coraopolis/McKees Rocks exit (Exit 64) from I-79 north. At the end of the off ramp turn left on to Route 51 north; travel about 0.3 miles. Immediately after crossing the bridge look for parking volunteers.
From the North, take I-79 South to the Neville Island exit (Exit 65). At the end of the off ramp turn left, which will put you on Grand Avenue headed west.
