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 (May 1)

GOOD. Water normal stain; 67 degrees; 0.33 feet below pool. Striped bass fishing is great on top waters early along rocky shorelines and sandy flats around coves. Watch for birds on the banks and fish the direction the birds are moving up and down the rocks. Live bait is still very effective fishing ledges and humps near the river channels in 35-45 feet of water. The shad spawn is on and catching will only get better. Crappie fishing is good near boat docks and on structure also using electronics to locate roaming fish in 12-15 feet of water. Glo and milk are colors of choice with a crappie nibble tip. Seeing females in the creeks 2-5 feet of water as well. Catfishing is getting better on cut shad and prepared baits anchored on ledges in 40-50 feet of water a few reels off the bottom near rocky banks. Slip cork with a cut shad down the bluffs are producing channel cats preparing to spawn as well. Bass fishing is good using top waters early, spooks or closed face glide baits and fish crawl baits later. Fish are roaming near the beds and hitting white chatter baits as well. Live shad down the bluffs are producing numbers with the occasional big fish off the rocks in 5-8 feet of water. Report by Jacob Orr, Guaranteed Guide Service Lake Texoma. Hybrid stripers are excellent with limits coming on topwaters along the bank early in the morning watching for Egrets. Then switch to swimbaits on flats and points in 10-20 feet of water. Shad are spawning along the banks. Report by John Blasingame, Adventure Texoma Outdoors.
