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).

Most importantly, embrace the journey with extra time and a flexible spirit, ready to adapt if conditions change.
Relish the breathtaking beauty of nature, and prepare to embrace the adventure ahead.

After several rainy days, the clouds finally cleared and this funky little mushroom made an appearance at the @montrosepd.
We’re calling it a Rocky Mountain Sand Dollar, because apparently, you don’t need an ocean to find one!
Just one of the little surprises that come with a beautiful Colorado fall.
Enjoy one last weekend outdoors in beautiful Montrose!
Late September offers comfortable temperatures, making it an ideal time to explore. Spend the day hiking or biking along the winding trails, casting a line in the river, discovering the wonders of Black Canyon, or soaking in the breathtaking, wide-open views of Western Colorado.

Hiking around Montrose in early fall has its benefits, like cooler days, fewer crowds, and beautiful colors. However, be ready for unpredictable weather, cooler temperatures at night, shorter daylight hours, and possible storms or wildlife encounters.
To have a safe and enjoyable adventure, plan ahead. Dress in layers, pack food and water, and tell someone where you’re going. A little preparation can make a big difference!

Fall is the perfect season for fly fishing in the Montrose area. Often regarded as one of the best times to fly fish in Colorado, fall brings cooler temperatures, pleasant days on the water, and more active fish.
With the stunning changing colors and beautiful scenery, it`s hard to beat a day spent on the rivers of Western Colorado.
Grab your fly rod and make the most of the season before winter arrives!
