This is not a race but rather a leisurely ride through the scenic Cumberland Valley of central Pennsylvania. Ride on lightly traveled roads along and over the Conodoguinet, Yellow Breeches and Big Spring creeks which feed the Susquehanna river. Cue sheets, sag wagons and rest stops are provided for all routes as well as markings on the road to guide the riders on the routes. This event is well known for its homemade cookies, soup and other great food.
Most of the routes offer gentle terrain, although one of the 25 mile routes contains some challenging hills. Routes of 100, 75,50, and 25-mile lengths are available.
The 2015 Three Creek Century will be held at the Penn Township Fire Department complex at 1730 Pine Road in Newville. This new location offers better restrooms, parking and picnic facilities, and great access to the quiet rural roads that wind through beautiful western Cumberland County. The revised routes retain the favorite parts of the courses from previous Three Creek Centuries while adding new scenery that showcases some of the best riding to be found in the region.
NEW! Cumberland Valley Rail Trail Route: A ride along the beautiful Cumberland Valley Rail Trail is being offered as an option for riders looking for a quiet no-traffic ride. The trail is a crushed limestone surface suitable for most types of bikes. Ride from Newville to Shippensburg Township Park and back for a total of 18 miles. Start at the Newville trailhead at 23 McFarland Street.
