"What do I get with registration?" All riders will receive a commemorative bicycle jersey. On the day of the event, you will receive 3 healthy meals, 10 healthy water stops, SAG support, complimentary massages, and transportation.
Choose your ride: 1-day or 2-day
When you register, you will be asked to decide if you want to ride the 101 miles in 1-day or 2-days. All riders begin in Cleveland on September 21. 1-day riders will ride all the way to the end in New Philadelphia. 2-day riders will stop in Massillon on the first day, completing about 60% of the mileage. Then, on Sunday, September 22, 2-day riders will begin in New Philadelphia and ride north to Massillon where they will complete the remaining 40% of the ride.
Ride as a team or ride solo
Gear up with your family, friends, or coworkers for the Huntington Towpath Century Ride! We have riders who participate and fundraise solo and we also have bicycle riders form teams of pairs, trios & quads, and five & up.
Fundraising
All riders will fundraise a minimum of $750 with the goal of $1,000 in pledges and donations. Since the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail is a free public resource, our riders do not have any trouble meeting their fundraising goals through donations of .10, .25, .50 or $1.00 per mile ridden.
You could be a winner! There are no awards for finishing the ride first, but there are awards for raising the most funds in your category! All of our bicycle riders are invited to our Rider Reception in October where we recognize and present awards to our top fundraisers in the following categories: Solo Riders, Pedaling Pairs, Trios & Quads, Five & Up, Rookie of the Year, Highest Overall Fundraisers, Highest Overall Teams.

Ride with us!
The Huntington Towpath Century Ride is a great way to experience all 101 miles of the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail! There is so much to see along this natural resource that provides recreational, cultural, and historical opportunities for our community.
Every rider has their own reason for participating. Many riders enjoy the comradery of this event year-to-year. Some riders are solely passionate about fundraising for the development of the Towpath Trail. For others, riding the entire Towpath Trail is an activity they want to check off their bucket list. Whatever your reason might be, we invite you to join this elite group for this fully-supported endeavor!
