Balloon Run

Experience the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta with a scenic race along the Bosque Rio Grande, set against the backdrop of ascending hot air balloons and the Sandia Mountains. Participants can choose between two race options and each will receive a commemorative t-shirt and balloon-shaped medal. A two-time Olympian will lead the pre-race warm-up, and special prizes are awarded to the top three finishers in each age group, as well as the participant with the best hot-air balloon-themed costume. Enjoy the unique blend of sport and spectacle in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
