new event- Virtual 2020 Labor Day Poker Run Fundraiser!!

Do you enjoy riding or walking along the Great Allegheny Passage-Westmoreland County section? As we know, it is a beautiful and scenic Trail offering peace, recreation, and enjoyment to all. It is a great place for safe exercise and fun times for friends and families.

Covid 19 may have cancelled the Labor Day Poker Run event but the work continues to support and maintain the trail. Our Over The Hill Gang works each week keeping trash collected, keeping the grass mowed and fallen trees removed. They keep the surface of the trail smooth by eliminating any runoff ruts caused by bad weather that impact the trail.

Due to the pandemic, all fundraising events of the Westmoreland Yough Trail Chapter have been cancelled for 2020.

But you can make a difference by participating in the 2020 Virtual Poker Run. As in past years, the annual Poker Run proceeds provided major contributions to defray maintenance costs. To offset this loss, the WYTC is holding a T-Shirt sale to raise funds to help in the maintenance efforts.

Starting August 1 and ending at midnight on August 23 you can purchase a t-shirt to support the WYTC. You can choose one of three different colors or buy one of each! Sizes run from Adult small to 5XL. These are high quality cotton shirts, like those given at previous Poker Run events.

Order your T-Shirt HERE. You will have three weeks to order your shirt.

After you receive your T-Shirt, wear it with your friends on the GAP, take a picture, and it will be displayed on our website! Send to: webadmin@bikewytc.org

Please read the 2020 Virtual Poker Run brochure for all details!

See you on the Trail!
