The race is scheduled for Saturday, June 8, 2024. Check-in opens at 7:15 a.m. and the first rider will start the race at 8:30 a.m.
Cyclists must be 16 years of age and older, in good physical condition, and can register to compete in an 11.5 mile point-to-point time-trial bike race.
The race begins at the Farmington Township Community Park in Leeper, travels north along the Rail 66 bike corridor, and finishes next to Northwest Hardwoods, which is located about one mile south of Marienville.
Racers will leave the starting line in 30-second intervals.
Online registration is available at rail66tt.com.
Janney Montgomery Scott (Clarion office), the race sponsor, will provide refreshments at the finish line.
Rail 66 is an asphalt-paved bike trail that begins on U.S. Route 322, just west of Clarion, and ends in Marienville.
The 11.5 mile bike time-trial course does not cross any major highways, but it does cross 19 township roads, driveways, and lanes along this ride.
The race committee will provide traffic control at these intersections to ensure a safe crossing.
All proceeds go towards trail maintenance.
T-shirts are guaranteed to racers who register by May 31, 2024.
