Long-Distance Trips

Ready to take on the challenge of riding the East Coast? 

The East Coast Greenway takes you through major cities — Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Miami and more — and on flat to rolling stretches of urban, rural and coastal communities in between.

Close to 70 cyclists — and three walkers — have completed the entire route in the Greenway’s first 25 years. As more people learn of the route, increasing numbers of cyclists are attempting to ride long stretches or the entire end-to-end route.

Remember that the East Coast Greenway is a work in progress — donate to help! To ride long segments or the entire route, cyclists should be experienced and comfortable riding in traffic and navigating through urban and rural areas.
