Run for the Hills...and a Good Cause




On May 31st, Loose Wheels, Texas, will host the 3rd annual Run for the Hills charity race to benefit the Grayson County Area Fire Departments.  This 5K mud and obstacle race, the first of its kind in North Texas, is full of fun and excitement.  The race is open to entrants of all ability and fitness levels from fun-loving trotters, walkers to the seriously fit and competitive athletes. 

 

 

 

In 2013, over 450 participants competed in various heats and were cheered on throughout the day by hundreds of family members and friends.  The course is constructed in part by both volunteer and city firefighters from the Grayson County area who participate throughout the day by monitoring the safety of the obstacles on the course.   The large lader truck provided  by the Denison Fire Department serves as a public shower for the mud racers at the end of the race.

 

 

 

Live music provided by a series of high-energy bands keeps everyone in attendance entertained and the munchies can be handled by the high quality food and drink available at Loose Wheels.

 

 

 

Sponsorships and team opportunities are available and, because significant growth is expected in the 2014 event, will provide supporting companies a great deal of exposure and the opportunity to support your community firefighters at the same time.  Run for the Hills is a registered 501(c)3 organization and all donations are tax deductible.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 63 degrees; 1.32 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on live shad in 30-40 feet of water on main lake points and ledges. Top waters working early around rocky banks, be on the lookout for white birds on the banks early. It will only get better as the striper finish their spawn and the shad start theirs. Crappie fishing is good on brush piles using jigs in 14-18 feet of water. Electronics help locate active fish roaming and sticking the brush. Monkeys milk and mo glo colors working the best. Bass fishing is good on top waters early and swim baits off the banks late morning. Live shad producing numbers and big spawned out fish along the bluffs. Catfish are fair on cut shad and prepared baits anchored in 40-50 feet of water in creek channels and near ledges. Look along the rocks for blues and channels spawning and looking for shad. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are good on topwater along the bank early in the morning. Watch for egrets and seagulls. Then switch to sassy shad 4 inch glo on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad continue to spawn. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
