Washington, D.C. – Is there a runner in your life who is always in search of the next new trail to discover? Give them a Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) rail-trail guidebook, complete with maps, points of interest and directions! Is there an avid cyclist on your list who needs new gear to wear on bicycling trips? Give them the 2008 RTC Cycling Jersey, a stylish jersey that’s not only fun to wear, but also a great way to give back to RTC to help build more trails!

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy announces four great gifts to give the cyclist, runner or trail enthusiast on your holiday gift list.
? Gift Membership: Great for anyone on your list, a Rails-to-Trails Conservancy membership is only $18. Your membership donation will help support programs, projects and services that have helped put more than 15,000 rail-trail miles on the ground. Give the gift of a membership and the recipient will enjoy the following benefits:
New member welcome materials including “Destination Rail-Trails,” a sampler of some of the nation's finest trails; a subscription to RTC's magazine, Rails to Trails; discounts on publications, apparel and other merchandise including RTC's popular rail-trail guidebooks; and the satisfaction of knowing that your dollars are helping create a nationwide network of trails.
? Guidebooks: Is someone on your gift list looking for a new, level trail where they can enjoy a brisk fitness walk, bike ride, or stroll with the family? All across the country, unused railroad corridors have been converted to public, multiuse trails. Here, the experts from RTC present the best of these rail-trails in guidebooks featuring several areas of the country. Available in time for the holiday season is the newest guidebook Rail-Trails Midwest. Other available guidebooks include Rail-Trails Mid-Atlantic, Rail-Trails New England, Rail-Trails Southeast, and guides for Washington and Oregon, and Wisconsin.
