From the Organizer
THE GARLAND GUZZLER 0.5K RACE IS ON THE HORIZON!
Now in its NINTH epic year, the Garland Guzzler 0.5K is rolling into Downtown Garland with a groovy '70s theme. Pull out your bell-bottoms, disco sequins, platform shoes, tie-dye, or your favorite '70s-inspired look because costumes are highly encouraged. Feeling more like a galaxy far, far away? Star Wars-inspired outfits fit right in, too!
After surviving all 500 legendary meters, keep the celebration going with live music from Le Freak, a Disco Roller Derby featuring Assassination City Roller Derby, a '70s Sci-Fi Costume Pre-Party, games, food, and family-friendly activities throughout Downtown Garland.
So, as we like to say around here, "Come for the race. Stay for the party!"
