The Carrollton Parks and Recreation Department announces the return of the Run Carrollton Race Series, starting May 9.
The series features four races over the course of the year covering a range of distances.
First in the line-up is the Pavement to Park Trail Race, May 9. The race starts at 8am and utilizes both the GreenBelt and the new mountain bike trails. Pavement to Park features 3K ($25) and 5K ($35) distances.
The series continues this summer with Guns n’ Hoses, July 18. This race will start at 7am and will feature two ($25) and four ($35) 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.
