In celebration of National Parks Week, from April 23 at Sunrise to April 25 at Sunset the National Park Service with help from BikeWalk Williamsburg will close 8 miles of the Colonial Parkway to vehicular traffic for the 24th annual Pedal the Parkway.  This year will look a little different then before accommodate for COVID-19 safety measures.

Grab your pandemic pod for the rare chance to bike, walk or run the Colonial Parkway from Jamestown to Williamsburg completely car-free.  “Because we can’t have the usual party at Archers Hope this year we’re hoping that the three days will give everyone to enjoy the Parkway in a safe and fun way,” says Lauren Gurniewicz the Chief of Visitor Experience and Community Engagement at the park. “Even though the party won’t be there, it will still be an amazing community event.  It’s a wonderful chance to get riders who aren’t confident out on two wheels.  And at this point I know most of our community’s walkers and runners are looking for a change of scenery too!”
