Rodale Park 12 Hour Challenge

The Rodale Park 12 Hour Challenge is an endurance event held at the Bob Rodale Cycling and Fitness Park in Breinigsville, Pennsylvania. This event supports the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance and its mission to develop a 1,500-mile multi-use trail connecting the three national 9/11 memorials. Participants can choose to participate as cyclists, runners, joggers, or walkers.

The event takes place on a 2-mile loop that is 20 feet wide and fully paved. To ensure participant safety, the course is coned off to provide separate dedicated sections for cyclists and for those on foot. The loop offers a scenic environment with various sections of sun and shade.

Participants have the flexibility to complete as many laps as they choose throughout the duration of the event. A "Pit Stop" pavilion is available on-site, providing snacks, fluids, and lunch for those who wish to rest or refuel. A dedicated information canopy is also managed by the organizers to track mileage accomplishments and share details about the memorial trail.
