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.
