The FCRCP, Inc. WELCOMES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in our 4th Annual "Heart & Sole" event (--growing in numbers each year) taking place in the small town of Ford City in Western PA...The event serves as a kick-off to the upcoming "Street Fair" over Labor Day weekend.  The course is flat, fast, tranquil, and scenic, taking place in part on the "Armstrong Trail"---This event does not challenge you to the typical hills of PA; the "flat" "all-paved" course allows all ages and skill levels to participate---(**Road Bike-friendly course)...
