The GAP Ride

August 30 - September 1, 2025

Register by July 31, 2025! All proceeds benefit EightFifteen’s Gap Fund Program.

About the Ride

GAP Trail

Stretching 150 miles from Point State Park to Cumberland, MD, the Great Allegheny Passage is a nearly-level, crushed limestone trail that winds along rivers, around mountains, and through beautiful Ohiopyle State Park.

Seven Springs Resort

Relax and recover each night while enjoying the beautiful mountain views and many amenities of Seven Springs Mountain Resort. Shuttles to and from the trail are provided each day.

Training

New to cycling? Not to worry! Upon request, registered participants can receive training suggestions and support from experienced cyclists to help prepare you for the ride and to answer any questions you may have.

Still worried that you can’t do the full ride? Just do individual days or there are also options for only completing a portion of each day’s route. Spend the rest of the weekend relaxing by the pool or getting a massage at the resort!

Fundraising Goals

The fundraising minimums are $600 for an individual and $1,200 for a family, but these goals can be achieved just by encouraging 2 - 4 people to give a recurring donation of $25/month

Meeting your goal is a snap with our best-in-class, easy-to-use fundraising tools that can quickly be customized in seconds.

Join a fundraising team for additional flexibility and support!
