Reporting System for Incidents on Schuylkill River Trail

     Everyone should call 911 if they are a victim of a crime or witness criminal or suspicious activity on the Schuylkill River Trail. However, if you not believe a call to 911 is warranted, we encourage the use of this system as a type of neighborhood watch reporting device. It will provide information on unsafe or improper activities on the SRT to the proper authorities so the trail can be improved for all its users.

Mileage logs for 2010 are available now! Get more information here, or directly download the SCU log in XLS (with automatic summation) or PDF format.
The 2010 Event Calendar is online.
Congratulations to the top SCU ride leaders of 2009!
