The riders were Jeff Krakoff, 50, and Vic Walczak, 53, both from Upper St. Clair; Scott Bowlin, 35, Mt. Lebanon; Pete Chiste, 56, Peters Township; and Craig Hoffman, 42, Bethel Park.
Krakoff, Walczak and Chiste all have arthritis, and so far they have raised about $5,000 and will be accepting donations over the next few weeks.
The team started out in Rockwood, PA in Somerset County at 7:46 a.m. and arrived at the Point State Park fountain at 6:15 p.m. for a total of 106 miles in 10 hours, 29 minutes on the trail.
