About The Event
In October 2024, in partnership with MCT Trails and Metro East Park and Recreation District, we hosted the first ever Newt Scoot and placed a permanent bench in his favorite napping spot in his honor with your support.
This October, we're hitting the trails once again for the 2nd Annual Newt Scoot on October 4th, 2025, and we hope you'll join us! We're back for another memorial fun ride celebrating the adventurous, loving spirit and legend of Newt, but this year, we’re rolling out from a new location at Miner Park in Glen Carbon, IL. You'll still enjoy the same scenic 11.5-mile loop along the MCT Goshen, Heritage, and Nickel Plate Trails, passing by Newt's memorial bench & statue along the way. We had over 250 riders for the inaugural ride, and we can't wait to see the MCT trails filled with orange once again in his memory. This event…
