The 100km (62 miles) ride will leave the Heritage trail for a hilly loop on country roads with a stop at Bethany College. It is a challenging ride with great SAG support. Snack and water stops will keep riders hydrated on both the 50km and 100km rides. Every participant is required to wear a helmet. Entrants under 18 must be accompanied by a registered adult. We ride rain or shine! All riders will enjoy a post ride lunch (included with registration cost) with live entertainment as the Tough As Nails Event will begin at 12 noon on Sunday.
The 2026 Wheeling Heritage Trail Tour is made possible by our generous sponsors and by thousands of volunteer hours by members of the Ohio Valley Trail Partners and residents of the Ohio Valley.
