Cherokee Recreation and Parks will host its 20th Annual Guns & Hoses 5K Run/Walk on February 14, 2026, at Hobgood Park in Woodstock, GA.
The purpose of this event is to raise funds for local charities selected by both groups, Guns and Hoses.
The charity for the Cherokee Sheriff’s Office (Guns) is The Frank Reynolds Charities, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to raise funds through events and community initiatives that help meet the needs of individuals in Cherokee County and support other charitable organizations serving the community. Donate to the Frank Reynolds Charities here!
The charity for the Cherokee County Fire Department (Hoses) is the Goshen Valley Boys Ranch, a nonprofit home providing care and support for young men in Georgia’s state foster care system. Donate to Goshen Valley here!
When registering, participants will select the team they wish to represent, Guns or Hoses, and a portion of their registration fee will be donated to that team’s designated charity.
Dogs are welcome, as long as they are on a leash!
The Guns & Hoses 5K is a certified qualifying race for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution Peachtree Road Race.
