Healthy Adams Bicycle/Pedestrian, Inc. (HABPI) will host its 11th annual Ride for Trails bike ride on Saturday, September 26, to raise money for trail development in Adams County.
Three routes are offered to accommodate riders of all experience levels: 13 miles, 26 miles, and 43 miles. All rides begin at the Gettysburg Rec Park, 545 Long Lane, and travel through Gettysburg National Military Park and over picturesque Sachs Covered Bridge. The longer rides also wind through quiet country roads south of Gettysburg, with a rest stop halfway through to recharge. All rides end at the Rec Park, where riders can enjoy a free lunch beginning at 11 a.m.
The 26- and 43-mile rides will be “show and go,” allowing riders to depart on their own schedule after check-in opens at 8 a.m. The guided 13-mile ride will depart at 9:45 a.m. and will be led by HABPI members at a leisurely pace.
Pre-registration and additional ride details are available at https://habpi.redpodium.com/habpis-ride-for-trails-2026 or via the link at habpi.org. Pre-registration is $40 and is open through noon on September 25. Event-day registration is $45. Riders who register by September 8 will receive a free Ride for Trails t-shirt. This year’s shirt features a special design in recognition of America’s 250th anniversary.
Those who are unable to ride are encouraged to support HABPI by making a donation at habpi.org or by mailing a check made out to HABPI to 523 Moritz Rd., Orrtanna, PA 17353, attn. M. Bramel.
Proceeds from the event will support HABPI’s work to develop and maintain bicycling and walking trails and to promote safe bicycling and walking for the health, recreation, transportation, environmental, and economic benefit of the community.
