Ride to Remember: Craig Martin's Journey on the 9/11 Trail

A lifelong resident of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Craig Martin is an experienced adventure seeker. Last summer he solo-cycled the 4,100-mile Great American Rail Trail from Washington D.C. to La Push, Washington, and wrote a book–American Solitaire: My Exploration of America and My Mind–capturing the challenges, triumphs, and reflections from that epic trip. Now, Craig has once again embarked on an adventure of a lifetime, cycling the entirety of the 9/11 National Memorial Trail at the end of this summer. Just as he did in his book, Craig has chronicled this journey, sharing his reflections that capture the physical challenges, emotional encounters, and the unbreakable spirit of unity and remembrance.

The Alliance is thrilled to share Craig's experiences on the trail through his own words. He reflects on his journey, his thoughts on the significance of the September 11th National Memorial Trail and what it means to honor the spirit of unity and remembrance. Read on to join Craig on his journey, and discover the trail through the eyes of an adventurer.
