The Harrisburg Bicycle Club’s Three Creek Century cycling event will take place on Sunday September 20, 2026

Routes: The scenic 29.8-mile Opossum Lake Route is back by popular demand, and a new 21.3-mile loop to the historic Borough of Newville will offer gentle terrain with more beautiful creek side riding. Routes will be finalized by August and will include:

11 mile King Gap Climb
18 mile Cumberland Valley Rail Trail route (crushed stone surface)
21 mile Newville 21 route
30 mile Opossum Lake route
50 mile Big Spring Meander with South Mountain Challenge
50 mile Big Spring Meander route
62 mile Metric Century (Big Spring + Kings Gap Climb)
101 mile Full Century (Big Spring + Opossum Lake + Newville)

All road routes (but not the unpaved Cumberland Valley Rail Trial, see address above) start and end at the Penn Township VFC, so you can easily combine the routes for other combinations. This event is a ride, not a race, and there’s a route for every type of rider!

We now have all the routes completed

The route colors will be

Big Spring Meander: Green

Big Spring Meander with South Mountain Challenge: Green till 2^nd rest stop then pink after that. It’s explained in more detail in the Participant pre-event memo which Marilyn is working on.

Opossum Lake Loop: Orange

Newville 21: Yellow

Full Century 101.3 miles
