Event Details and Schedule

The Civil War Century is an event with five different routes that are designed for different ability levels, from the 25-mile Covered Bridge Quarter Century for beginners and those that don't ride long and hilly rides up to the 100+ mile Civil War Century which is intended for experienced, well-trained cyclists that have done at least a couple of centuries already. For the history buff, you can visit Crampton's Gap, South Mountain, Antietam and/or Gettysburg battlefield sites. You'll see all four if you elect to ride the full century.

Organize your ride crew as a team for a discount! Captain names the team for others to join.
