All participants will receive an awesome “Balloon Chase” t-shirt, race medal, a VIP dinner voucher, and the opportunity to run/walk/cycle in the company of magnificent hot air balloons!

You have your choice of doing a 10 or 30 or 50 mile bike ride in the morning (7 AM) with hot air balloons or a 2 mile or 4 mile walk or run in the evening (6:30 PM) with hot air balloons, OR do both!
