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).

At Eatery 66 North, every bite feels like a celebration of bold flavor and comfort done right.
Their Classic Deviled Eggs topped with bacon and jalapeño strike the perfect balance of creamy, smoky, and spicy, while the juicy local grass-fed beef burger, famously known as the Eatery 66 burger, piled high with American cheese, organic greens, tomato, red onion, pickles, and signature 66 sauce on a buttery brioche bun is the kind of meal you keep thinking about long after the last bite — especially when paired with crispy truffle fries.
The Crab Cake Bites, served with charred corn salsa and zesty Old Bay aioli, add a fresh coastal twist that rounds out the experience beautifully. Eatery 66 North delivers elevated comfort food with personality, qualityingredients, and unforgettable flavor in every dish.

Before taking your dogs down to the river, take a moment to review water safety and recognize the difference between safe and unsafe water. A refreshing dip in the river is an incredible way to cool off your four-legged friends and embrace the beauty of nature. While you’re in the area, be sure to visit the dog park next to Cerise Park and make lasting memories together!

Fewer than 350 drive-in theaters remain in the United States—making each one a rare piece of Americana. For an experience you won’t find just anywhere, visit the Star Drive-In Movie Theater. It’s a Montrose classic, beloved by locals and unforgettable for visitors. Grab a bucket of popcorn, order a fresh, juicy burger, tune your FM dial, and settle in for a nostalgic summer night under the stars.

Time in nature alone can be so healing. Want to enjoy the Black Canyon all by yourself? Check out the lesser-visited, but equally stunning, North Rim, or take a hike through the Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area, just north of the National Park.
Don`t forget to bring plenty of water, and tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return.
