Gainesville was selected April 10 as the host site for the Georgia Police and Fire Games in 2021 and 2022.
The games include events such as “toughest cop” and “toughest firefighter” along with cycling, 5K runs, golf, weightlifting, softball and more.
“We look forward to bringing the games back to Gainesville-Hall County,” said Georgia Police and Fire Games Executive Director James Perry in a news release. “The response and support we received when there years ago has not been forgotten, and we know Gainesville-Hall County will again excel in hosting the event.” The games were held in Hall County in 2008. The games move every two years to a new location through a bid process. They are scheduled to be held in Newnan this year.
