Run for the Hills is the first "5K mud & obstacle race" in North Texas. This event is a foot race organized to benefit the fire departments in our community. Our first two races exceeded everyone's expectations. In June of 2012 there were 300 participants, some from as far away as Maryland. The number of participants in the 2013 race increased to 450. The racers ran in multiple heats throughout the day and were cheered on by hundreds more of their family and friends. Highlights will include the large ladder truck from the Denison Fire Department which will be used as a public shower for mud racers at the end of the race, live music provided by a showcase of high energy bands, and the high quality food and drink available at Loose Wheels.
