Unleash Fun At Firehose Frenzy: St. George’s Unique 5K Event!

Most races here in Southern Utah are essentially the same.

You get up early, run the course (5K, 10K, half-marathon, etc.), get some swag, go home and bask in your accomplishment while icing your muscles.

It's a formula that works and has made distance running in our county extremely successful.

But every once-in-awhile something different comes along.

For instance, this Friday night (!), St. Ge0rge is sponsoring the Firehose Frenzy.

From the St. George City website:

"Get ready to get wet n' wild with St. George Races and the St. George Firefighter's Association at this years Fire Hose Frenzy! The St. George Firefighters will have their Fire Trucks out spraying runners with water as they pass by, making it one of the coolest events in town! This year's Firehose Frenzy 5k will take place at Desert Color! Following the race, you'll be able to take a dip in the amazing Desert Color Lagoon! Click the link above to register now!"

The idea is that it will be a bit cooler running on the late evening, plus admission to Desert Color's amazing lagoon is free with the race entry.

And did I mention that it's for a good cause.

"In our commitment to community support, a portion of the event proceeds will be directed to benefit both the Utah Burn Center and the St. George Firefighters Association."
