Rail Trail Run & Ride 2025 Participant Survey

We hope you all had a GREAT time at the 2025 Rail Trail Run & Ride.

We tried a few new things this year as a result of feedback from previous years. We would love to hear (via you completing this short survey) about your experience and any recommendations you might have for us to keep improving the event!

We are also hoping to collect some economic data, that will be useful in measuring the contribution the event makes to our region.

The survey should only take a couple of minutes to complete, and your feedback is really helpful in continuing to improve the event.
Your responses will only be reported in an aggregated general format and will not be attributed to any person.

Of course, if you would like to discuss any matters with us, please contact us via email railtrailrunride@gmail.com

We appreciate you taking the time to respond. Many thanks
