SPORTS

5k, 10k, and 1k

7:30am-12:00pm, Palisade Riverbend Park Address: 451 Pendleton St, Palisade, CO 81526

MAD Racing Colorado invites you to work up an appetite for the Palisade Peach Festival by running a fun cross-country style course right before the more...0 Palisade Peach Festival opens. There will be a water station half way through this 5k course. The 10k will complete the 5k loop twice. All courses consist 40% paved sidewalk and 60% dirt trails/paths on a flat terrain. This means the entire family has the opportunity to experience their preferred runs and support each other! Kids, 8 & under, will run a 1k course that takes place part of the end of the 5k/10k courses after most of the 5k and 10k runners finish. This is a great way to cool down and for the kids to watch the start of the race before they actually do it themselves. This is also a great way to pass the time before the awards. All finishers will receive a fresh Palisade Peach at the finish line. Be sure to stay after and enjoy the included entry to the Peach Festival activities!
