The GAP Ride

August 31 - September 2, 2024

Register by July 31, 2024! All proceeds benefit EightFifteen’s Gap Fund Program.

About the Ride

GAP Trail

Stretching 150 miles from Point State Park to Cumberland, MD, the Great Allegheny Passage is a nearly-level, crushed limestone trail that winds along rivers, around mountains, and through beautiful Ohiopyle State Park.

Seven Springs Resort

Relax and recover each night while enjoying the beautiful mountain views and many amenities of Seven Springs Mountain Resort. Shuttles to and from the trail are provided each day.

Training

New to cycling? Not to worry! Upon request, registered participants can receive training suggestions and support from experienced cyclists to help prepare you for the ride and to answer any questions you may have.

Still worried that you can’t do the full ride? Just do individual days or there are also options for only completing a portion of each day’s route. Spend the rest of the weekend relaxing by the pool or getting a massage at the resort!

Fundraising Goals

There are no fundraising minimums for this ride, but our goal is for each participant to get 10 friends/family members to donate just $25 per month to the Gap Fund Progarm.

Meeting your goal is a snap with our best-in-class, easy-to-use fundraising tools that can quickly be customized in seconds.

Join a fundraising team for coaching and support!
