May 21st 2023 Houston, TX
Coming up May 21st!
We are excited to announce the return of a Texas classic in May 2023. Racers will be able to once again race alongside Eleanor Tinsley Park with the epic backdrop of downtown Houston that has been enjoyed since 2006. Sponsors Fort Bend Kia and Trek Bicycle Stores have stepped up to make this exciting event's return possible. Houston Grand Crit will also be host to the Texas Triple Crown finals and awards ceremony, so join for some fun in the sun this May!
Made possible by
Avid supporters of the Houston and Fort Bend area cycling communities, Fort Bend Kia has helped make the return of this event possible in 2022. They are more than just a dealership, Ford Bend Kia is involved in supporting numerous clubs, charities and events in the Fort Bend area. If you are in the market for a new vehicle, please give their team a call!
