Cycling with the Mayor returns to Grand Prairie after spring weather cancellations
Summary
The city announced the return of "Cycling with the Mayor" and associated walking/running events and health fairs across multiple locations through the rest of 2026 as part of the Get Fit GP initiative; a participant praised the ride experience.
City presenters said the "Cycling with the Mayor" series is back in Grand Prairie after severe weather canceled earlier spring events. Now in its second decade, the series—founded by the mayor as part of the Get Fit GP initiative—includes free cycling, walking and running events, along with community and health fairs staged at multiple locations through the rest of 2026.
Organizers described the program as an open invitation to people of all ages to gather for fitness and fellowship and to welcome new participants. A rider who took part in a recent event described it as a short ride with varying terrain and an opportunity to socialize: "It's great. It's nice to come out and meet people and socialize and, you know, get to see the mayor again and ride with the mayor," the participant said.
For details and the full event schedule, city staff directed residents to gptx.org/getfitgp.
