15 Miles Gravel Mountain Biking Trail

Welcome to Adventure Racing! The Greenhorn AR, now in our 11th edition, was created to offer competitors a gateway into the sport of adventure racing. This 4 hour sprint adventure race was designed with the beginner in mind, but fun for everyone no matter the skill or experience level! While there is significant challenge built in, this event is fun and highly achievable for the novice racer. The navigation is straight forward and the maps that we provide are excellent. The mountain biking takes racers over gravel roads, some pavement, and semi-technical singletrack trails. Finally, the paddling takes place on a clear lake.

Race Date: Saturday September 12, 2026

Location: Rocky Gap State Park, Flintstone, MD

Start Time: 11:00am

Total Distance/Time: Roughly 15 miles, 4 hours time limit

Disciplines: Trekking (~3 to 6 miles), paddling (~2 mile), mountain biking (~8 to 10 miles), navigation (beginner)

Teams: Soloists and teams of two, three, or four (male, female, or co-ed). Team members travel together the entire race.

    Escape the summer city heat and head for the mountains! Join us at Rocky Gap State Park in Flintstone, MD for the 22nd annual Rocky Gap Off-Road Triathlon, Duathlon, and Relay.

    The triathlon race course starts with a two lap swim in warm clear waters of a mountain lake and the duathlon starts with a 2.7 mile semi-technical trail run. After the first segment, all racers head out to complete two laps of a mountain bike course that includes twisty lakeside singletrack, wide fire roads, smooth grassy sections, and a few rock gardens. Once completing the mountain bike course, racers transition to a 5.5 mile run that has rooty trails, smooth open flats, and a few ups and downs (of course!). All in all, this course is super fun and has challenged thousands of newbies and seasoned vets over the years!

    The September 11th National Memorial Trail is honored to host its 8th annual Tour de Trail: Flight 93 National Memorial event in 2026, marking the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. This commemorative bike ride travels through the scenic Laurel Highlands region of Pennsylvania, and includes a meaningful loop through the grounds of the Flight 93 National Memorial.

    Please join us on Saturday, September 12, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 pm for a 24-mile ride beginning in Berlin, PA, traveling to the Flight 93 National Memorial, and back. Holding this ride on September 12 is quite significant. While September 11 is a day of remembrance and reflection, September 12 represents the day our nation came together and made the commitment to Never Forget. This ride is an opportunity to carry that spirit forward, honoring the courage and resilience that followed September 11 by moving together on the 9/11 National Memorial Trail.

    In recognition of the 25th anniversary, cyclists will be welcomed at the Flight 93 National Memorial by an interpretive ranger from the National Park Service, who will present “The Story of Flight 93.” This 30-minute ranger-led program explores how Flight 93 fits into the broader events of September 11, highlighting the bravery of the passengers and crew, personal stories of courage, and the extraordinary actions taken to prevent the aircraft from reaching its intended target. The program takes place at a seated outdoor area where riders can reflect and listen.

    All proceeds from the ride will support the Alliance’s efforts to create and maintain the September 11th National Memorial Trail, a 1,500-mile, multi-use trail connecting the three locations impacted by the events of 9/11. The Trail honors the victims, heroes, and first responders of September 11 while fostering remembrance, reflection, and economic development through heritage tourism in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, DC.

    — SIGN UP BEFORE JULY 4 TO RECEIVE A SEPTEMBER 11TH NATIONAL MEMORIAL TRAIL 25TH ANNIVERSARY CHALLENGE COIN —

    Can't join the the ride this year? Register for the virtual ride or consider making a donation to help the Alliance continue building and preserving the 9/11 National Memorial Trail for future generations.

    The September 11th National Memorial Trail is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
