Wednesday, May 8, 12:30-3pm [program starts at 1pm], Camp Chase Rail-Trail at Wilson Road Park, 275 S. Wilson Rd.

Join us in celebrating the reveal of the cross-country, preferred route of the Great American Rail-Trail in Columbus! A signature project of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, the Great American Rail-Trail will connect nearly 4,000 miles of rail-trails and other multi-use trails across 12 states and Washington, D.C. — including Ohio!

This event will be featured in a cascading cross-country live broadcast on RTC’s Facebook page. If you can’t be there in person, tune in on Facebook to experience the celebration on the Camp Chase Trail.

The event will be an opportunity to:

• Celebrate decades of trail-building success by the Central Ohio community.

• Hear about the ambitious plans to continue providing trail opportunities for all Ohioans.

• Learn about how those efforts fit into emerging national, state, and local trail networks.

• Enjoy fun activities, giveaways and lunch!

Overflow parking will be provided at Hollywood Casino Columbus, 200 Georgesville Rd.; shuttle service from the overflow lot to the event will be provided by Haydocy Buick GMC Columbus Ohio.
