Serving individuals with intellectual disabilities and their families since 1952

The Arc of York County’s 37th annual Bike & Hike was held on May 3, 2008 at John Rudy County Park. Twenty-two teams, four schools, and many individuals participated in the event… helping to raise over $20,000 for The Arc of York County.

The Arc of York County’s Bike & Hike is a community event, consisting of teams of between 5 and 10 people. Teams raised money and then came to the event on May 3 to walk, ride or run around the path at John Rudy County Park. At the event there was face painting, balloon animals, a huge bounce house, DJ- Chris Wagman, plus more. We also had great food, the new “Bike & Hike Store,” and appearances from Bob Rudy of 98.5 The Peak and Jim Buchanan from WPMT Fox 43.

Next year’s event will be held on April 25, 2009. For more information, or to sign up your team, please contact The Arc of York County at (717) 846-6589.

Thanks to all of this year’s sponsors for helping make the 2008 Bike & Hike possible.
