See You at the Ride!
The 23rd Annual Gateway Engineers Tour the Montour, hosted by AHN Montour Sports Complex, takes off on Saturday, September 13, 2025.
The ride is a non-competitive, family-fun bike ride that begins at mile marker zero in Coraopolis. Parking is at AHN Montour Sports Complex, which is adjacent to the start/finish line.
Participants whose entry forms are postmarked by August 31 are guaranteed a 2025 Tour T-shirt in your selected size (if requested during registration). Since supplies are finite, late entrants may not receive their selected size after the cut-off date. In addition, you may order additional T-shirts (adult sizes only, $15 to $20).
New this year: The Coraopolis Community Development Corporation (CCDC) is partnering with MTC to stage new events the day of the Tour, including the FUNction at the Junction community festival.
