Winter is over, or rather, it never really got off the ground. Luckily our Winter Trail Day’s were not a casualty of the unseasonably warm weather! All our events were well attended and when Mother Nature didn’t cooperate snowshoe events became winter hikes. We did have a small window of snow on the trail in time to hold our first “Learn to Cross Country Ski Day”.
Here’s what we have in store as the seasons changeSaturday June 25th
10 AM: Art on the Trail/25th AnniversarySunday July 31st
10 AM “Secrets of the D&H” bike ride with the Southern Tier Bike Club. The ride starts on the Union Dale Trailhead with a brief history of the D&H Railroad before heading out on the trail for an interpretative bike ride. Take a bike ride back in time when mining, processing and transportation of coal fueled the economy of our region.
Saturday August 13th10 AM “Secrets of the D&H” Hike. This summer we discover secret areas on the
northern end of our trail. Details TBA. Sunday September 11th
9 AM The 9th annual D&H Distance Run/5K. The weather is finally looking like spring so dust off those running shoes and start training for the 2016 D&H Distance Run/5K. This half marathon/5K is RTC’s major fund raiser and 100 % of the proceeds go to trail maintenance and improvements. It takes a small army of volunteers to make the race a success so if you would like to volunteer or become a sponsor please contact the Rail-Trail Office. You can register online at GetMeRegis-tered.com, dhdistancerun.com or our website.
