Join the most hilarious costumed fun run in Colorado!
The Ridgway 1K Rally Through The Alley is a family-friendly, costume-themed, 1K race in downtown Ridgway. But don’t be fooled—this 6-block, downhill “race” is all about fun, food, and funky vibes, not speed.
Why It’s a Must-Do Event:
- Open to all ages and fitness levels
- Costumes are encouraged (and rewarded!)
- 8 unique aid stations featuring outrageous snacks like bacon, donuts, and hot dogs
- The race ends with live music in Hartwell Park
- This year marks the inaugural San Juan Oktoberfest, happening immediately following the wildly fun Ridgway 1K.
- San Juan Oktoberfest will feature Oktoberfest-style-games, fare and live polka music with Polka Poyo
Pro Tip: In the Ridgway 1K, if you’re first… you’re last! This is about taking your time and soaking in the fun.
Perfect for:
- Visitors looking for a fun fall festival in Colorado
- Families seeking a kid-friendly running event
- Adults who love craft beer and quirky races
- Runners who don’t run, but love a good party in costume
