RegisterWe are BACK for our 18th year as the Six Pillars Century, with a new date. We have been ROCKED by weather the past few years with the first weekend in May, so we are pushing back a week. SATURDAY, MAY 10, 2025!!! Save the Date!!!!
We will be on the same great routes as last year, and can't wait to show you all that Dorchester County has to offer. We can't wait to celebrate with you at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh when you are all done for the day! We'll have refreshments and more while you recover your legs!
Cycle the scenic back roads of picturesque Blackwater Wildlife Refuge in Dorchester County, MD. Choice of three FLAT routes: 37 miles, the famous 56 – mile Eagleman course, or our beautiful 100 – mile century course that takes you through quaint townships along the Chesapeake Bay and back through serene woodlands. Begin your day at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh complementary pastries and more along the shore of the scenic Choptank River, before heading out on 2 wheels.
Join us and help support our youth programs creating tomorrow's leaders, today!
