About the Event

Kick off an unforgettable weekend at the Moffat County Hot Air Balloon Festival with our colorful 5K Fun Run/Walk!

Join us at Loudy Simpson Park for a fun stroll or jog along the beautiful Yampa River trails. Along the way, you’ll be showered in vibrant bursts of color powder—turning every step into a rainbow-filled adventure!

As you move through the course, look up and enjoy the breathtaking sight of hot air balloons lifting into the sky. Live music will keep the energy up as you cross the finish line, and photo ops throughout the event will help you capture every colorful moment.

Want a shorter route? We’ve got a fun and easy One-Mile Option—perfect for kids, parents, or anyone looking to join the fun without going the full distance.

Pro tip: Wear a white shirt—it shows off the colors best!

Grab your friends and family for a morning of movement, music, and magic. This untimed event is all about fun, fitness, and unforgettable memories!
