2026 Montrose Mudder
The City of Montrose and the Montrose Rotary Interact Club are thrilled to announce that the Montrose Mudder is back for its 5th year! Mark your calendars for Friday, May 8, and Saturday, May 9, to get ready for another epic adventure of mud, fun, and unforgettable memories down at the Montrose Rotary Amphitheater on both days.
We begin on Friday, May 8, with a kick-off to the community’s summer concert season. Enjoy a free concert with vendors and a food truck village, and stop by to pick up your packet for the race the next day. Be sure to stay until the end of the night, since we are partnering with Brightflight Drone Shows to bring Montrose an unforgettable drone show to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States of America.
In partnership with Tri-County Health, we are promoting Mental Health Awareness Month by asking everyone to bring one green-colored item to our kick-off concert. Whether it is a bandana, a bracelet, or something else, we all want to show support for this effort and spread awareness!
Saturday, May 9, will be all about the race! The race will begin right on the Montrose Amphitheater lawns, and food will be provided afterwards for those who participated in the race.
Whether you’re a returning runner or joining us for the first time, we can’t wait to see you on the course as we celebrate five years of muddy mayhem!
All Food trucks have been selected. If you are still interested in participating, please reach out to our Community Event Coordinator via email or by phone (970-252-4881).
