By participating in D&L RaceFest, you directly support the mission of Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC)—fueling our work to inspire meaningful connections to the region’s nationally significant heritage.
Your involvement helps us continue telling our unique mine‑to‑market story, maintain and enhance the trails you love, and move closer to fully connecting all 165+ miles of the D&L Trail, making it Pennsylvania’s longest continuous multi‑use trail.
Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (DLNHC) preserves, interprets, and elevates the nationally significant history of the 165‑mile transportation route that once carried anthracite coal, iron, and goods between Wilkes‑Barre and Bristol, Pennsylvania. Through strong public and private partnerships, we build four vital connections that strengthen our region and enrich the lives of residents and visitors.
We connect people to the Corridor’s industrial heritage by preserving historic sites, interpreting the stories of the past, and offering educational programs that keep this history alive.
We connect people to health and wellness by transforming the historic transportation route into the D&L Trail, creating accessible outdoor recreation opportunities for all ages and abilities.
We connect communities to economic development by helping towns and cities leverage the D&L Trail and the Corridor to grow local businesses and support revitalization.
We connect people to nature and the environment through conservation efforts and hands‑on environmental education that deepens understanding and inspires stewardship.
Your participation in D&L RaceFest ensures that these efforts continue—helping us maintain the trail, honor our heritage, and expand programs that make a difference across the five‑county Corridor.
