PENNSYLVANIA

Pennsylvania is the home of Gettysburg - the site of the bloodiest battle in the American Civil War.

​

The historic battleground sets a poignant backdrop as Craig's race across America nears its end,

​

Together with Gettysburg, Craig will ride through large Amish and Mennonite communities in rural part of the state on his way to Maryland - the final stage of the Race Across America.

​

By the time he reaches Pennsylvania, Craig will have travelled 4,660km (2,896 miles), with only the shortest rest breaks imaginable, across 10 states.

​

He will have crossed deserts, mountain passes and sprawling great plains, crossing America at race speed on two wheels only.

​

There's now just one state to go to the finish line: Maryland.
