Event information
Closed most holidays. This trail starts at the YWCA. The 26K route is a figure 8 on paved roads around and through the Battlefield and Gettysburg. The 15K route is only half of the figure 8. The 26K route covers most of the major parts of the battlefield and bicycling is an excellent way to tour the battlefield. The 15K route is only thru parts of the battlefield for the first day of the battle and the Spangler Spring/Culps Hill/East Cemetery Hill parts of the battlefield from the second day. You will be bicycling with vehicular traffic
