Raleigh, NC

.


Celebrate the Complete 540 Project with us! As we approach the grand opening of the first phase of the Complete 540 Project in August, we want to celebrate with all the community members who made this project possible.

Folks from all around the Triangle will come together to celebrate the extension of the Triangle Expressway from N.C. 55 to I-40, connecting Apex, Cary, Clayton, Fuquay-Varina, Garner, Holly Springs, Raleigh and other local communities.

The 540 Fest charity partner is MS Events, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit that utilizes amateur athletic events to raise money for the National MS Society, ALS Foundation, and other organizations fighting neurological diseases.
