Instead of racing to the scene of an emergency, teams representing fire, police and first responders will try to outrun each other July 19 when the Carrollton Parks and Recreation Department hosts Guns n’ Hoses, the second event of the Run Carrollton Race Series.
Guns n’ Hoses will start at Carrollton City Hall at 7am and will feature two and four-mile distances. Participants will support the city’s first responders, the Carrollton Police and Fire departments, by choosing either blue for police or red for fire to represent in the race.
The series features a trio of races over the course of the year covering a range of distances, from a one-mile speed race to a challenging 10K.
The series’ first race, the Big Crush Rush, was held February 1.
Closing Run Carrollton’s first year will be the Running Dead Road Race, October 11 at 8am. Runners are encouraged to dress in Halloween gear for the 5K and 10K races which start at Midtown Water Park.
