Sonoma County Balloon Chase 5k

Get ready to race among the clouds at the inaugural Sonoma County Balloon Chase! This thrilling 5k run and children's 1k dash, hosted by the Sonoma County Hot Air Balloon Classic, is not just a race; it's an unforgettable experience. Feel the excitement on Sunday, May 3rd, bright and early at 8 am in Windsor's scenic Keiser Park.

Your feet will carry you through a beautiful 3.1-mile course surrounded by picturesque roads, and yes, you can bring the kiddies' strollers! Keep the pups at home though, as they'll have to cheer you on from the comfort of home. 5k runners will be rewarded with a stylish hat and a collectible pin, while our little dashers in the 1k can snag a pin and add a hat for a tiny fee.

Cross the finish line and bask in more than just your runner's high – stick around for up-close photo ops with majestic hot air balloons, and delve into the world of ballooning. And don't sweat the parking; it's all covered in your registration. Ready, set, soar!
