2026 Rail Trail Run & Ride Festival Participant Survey

We hope you had a great time at the 2026 Rail Trail Run & Ride Festival!

We're always looking for ways to improve the event, and your feedback is an important part of that process. This short survey will help us understand your experience, evaluate some of the new initiatives introduced this year, and identify areas for future improvement.

We're also collecting information to help measure the economic impact of the festival on our region.

The survey should take no more than a few minutes to complete. Your responses are anonymous and will only be presented in summary form.

If you have any questions or would like to provide additional feedback, please contact us at railtrailrunride@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and valuable input.
