Chisholm Trail Parkway is scheduled to open to traffic in May 2014. The 28-mile toll road in Tarrant and Johnson counties has been in the planning since the 1960’s. A milestone this big deserves a Texas-size celebration and events are being planned to do just that.

Community leaders along the corridor in Tarrant and Johnson counties are working together to plan this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will include running and cycling events and a celebration and concert in Cleburne. All events will be family-oriented activities.

Tentative schedule of events:

Saturday, May 10: Run and Ride the Chisholm Trail Parkway includes cycling and running activities.

1-mile kids’ fun-run from Edwards Ranch Road.

Did anyone register?
I'll be doing the 50M.
I got an e-mail this week and all of the events are SOLD OUT!
I'm pretty excited, hope I can hack the 50. I'm not quite in the shape I was last summer.

Did the 50... That wind going south was brutal, coming back was great.

[HarrisonTX]

NO fucking shit man. the wind killed. It was primarily uphill on the first half, too.

Check out my mile times in comparison.
Most were around 6 minutes going out and I had several sub 3 minute miles (im proud of 2:20) coming back. Only stopped once too. Not terrible being the first long ride ive been on in about a year

I waited too long to register and it sold out. I'm pissed I missed it. I did a Richardson Bike Mart ride that morning and the wind was rough at times. I'm doing 64 miles in Richardson this weekend though.

Nice man, There's a ride here, the Burleson Honey tour in 10 days. I'll probably do the 46 miler. They have a 70, I just don't feel like that yet this year. I'd like to get a 100M in soon though.
