⚠️ Trail Construction & Surface Advisory ⚠️

We are currently restoring sections of the trail north of Muncie between Riggin Road and Gaston. This stretch is one of the oldest sections of the trail system — nearly 30 years old — and requires significant repair work due to underlying surface issues.

During construction, portions of the trail will be ground down and re-compacted. These areas will remain as hard-packed asphalt grindings until funding is secured for final paving.

Please use extra caution when walking, running, or riding through this section of the trail. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to preserve and improve the trail for everyone.

The story of Cardinal Greenways dates back to the early 1900s when the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad line expanded to connect Cincinnati to Chicago, passing through Richmond and Muncie. When the line was officially abandoned and federal notice was given in the early 1990s, community members in East Central Indiana recognized the opportunity to transform the corridor into a trail that could connect East Central Indiana’s small towns and cities. In early January 1993, a public meeting at Ball Corporation’s downtown Muncie headquarters drew over 200 people, with many enthusiastically supporting the idea of acquiring the abandoned property. Years of determination, grit, and patient persistence followed with Cardinal Greenways eventually building 60+ miles of paved trail—with even more miles on the horizon today. Ball Brothers Foundation has been proud to support Cardinal Greenways since the beginning, facilitating early meetings with key stakeholders, providing matching dollars for construction, and supporting new projects over the decades.

**🏃‍♂️ Local Athlete Takes on 62-Mile Cardinal Greenway Challenge**

On Friday, March 20, 2026, local athlete Kyle Parkison will take on an incredible endurance challenge along the Cardinal Greenway.

Kyle will begin his run at 5:00 a.m. at the Sweetser Switch trailhead, heading south to Jonesboro. From there, he’ll be transported by vehicle to the Gaston trailhead, where he will continue running all the way to the D Street trailhead in Richmond.

In total, Kyle aims to complete the full 62-mile stretch of the trail in just 12 hours.

An athletic trainer with Monroe Central Schools, Kyle is no stranger to pushing limits—but this will be one of his toughest challenges yet.

If all goes according to plan, runners and trail users may spot Kyle passing through the depot area around noon (or possibly earlier).

Be sure to cheer him on if you see him along the trail! 👏
