Delaware Canal Dryland Mushing Challenge (By Volancy Dogs) | Canicross & Bikejor

You can also read the event info below on this Google Doc . Volancy Dogs is delighted to announce a new bikejoring/canicross challenge on the beautiful Delaware Canal Towpath along the Delaware River in Pennsylvania (with the option to complete it virtually)! This event, which participants can complete at any time, is a distance of 20 miles, with a 10-mile alternative for participants who find that they need a shorter distance. Participants can do the challenge on their own or in the company of other mushers; optional group rides will be scheduled. I will be renewing this event each year, so there is no rush if you won't finish it by the end of the calendar year! Our event is intended to motivate mushers, bring people/dogs into the sport, foster community, and inspire friendly competition. Course The course starts at the Delaware Canal Towpath entrance across the street from the 1799 House (GPS to Yardley Park and Ride ); both the 10-miler and the 20-miler are “out and back” routes. The 10-miler turnaround point is at the Stoney Run Aqueduct . The 20-miler turnaround point is where the towpath ends upon reaching the river (turn on satellite view); you will pass the small bridge leading into New Hope and Odette’s River House on your left. NOTE : There is currently a trail closure about 2.5 miles from the 20-miler turnaround point. The remaining distance can be completed by passing the finish for half of the leftover distance and then heading back to the finish or anywhere else on the trail you choose. 10-Mile Challenge Short Video 20-Mile Challenge Full Video Check out this Google Doc for more precise course information and how to prove that you completed the challenge.
