Our Founder’s One Day Hike (ODH) 50km/31mi along the C&O Canal Towpath.
All expenses are paid by our Founder and President, former Army CPT Thu Stubbs, to hike for our Veterans and 7 Benefit LTD. Your donation will directly provide quality housing and supportive services to our Nation's homeless Veterans.
Introduction & History
The One Day Hike (ODH) comprises two concurrent, non-competitive hikes of 100 and 50 km (62.14 and 31.07 miles) that follow the C&O Canal towpath, and end in Bolivar, WV. The 50 km event (“50K”) starts at 10 AM from Whites Ferry in Montgomery County, MD and proceeds along the towpath, crossing the footbridge into Harpers Ferry after mile marker 60, ending at the Bolivar Community Center. Hikers have until midnight to complete either hike.
The ODH may well be the mid-Atlantic region's oldest long-distance hike, the 100K having been held since 1974, and the 50K since 2000. All but 1.5 miles of each hike takes place within the C&O Canal National Historical Park. Hikers then walk through part of the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, before finishing at Bolivar.
