| Welcome to this year's
Cochranton Poker Run. This event is once again bigger
and better as it arrives into Pennsylvania's most
popular ATV riding town. The event is owned and
maintained by the Allegheny Highland Pulling Association.
New Location - There is a new location
this year. The ATV event will be held on the west
side of town instead of the east side of town...with
an all-new camping area and starting location. This
new site is a 100+ acre farm located along Ridgeway
Hill Rd. just north of RT 322. New signs will be
posted. (The bike event will be at the old location)
Camping, Parking, Expo, Exhibits and Starting Area
will all be at the new location for the entire event.
This year, there will be 3 trails, which will
all have the same level of difficulty. This will
help out with bottlenecks but don't expect any clean
sailing with 10,000 expected riders! The staff are
all volunteers from the local town and the AHPA...no
one has a paid position.... they are all donating
their time and efforts for you. All proceeds will
go towards local charities.
Big rigs, factory displays and related industry
roll into the "Expo area" starting on Thursday,
April 5th. The entire event will be moved this year
to a new and larger location just on the other side
of town. A local farmer has donated his pastures
to accommodate the large crowds and displays. This
new site will hold the starting areas, camping,
parking, and the ATV Expo.
