Summary[edit]

Description

The Great Reno Balloon Race is underway across the Truckee Meadows in this photo. You can barely see the specks that constitute the 100+ hot air balloons.

The Great Reno Balloon Race is a hot-air balloon race held each September in Reno, Nevada. The event is held at the Rancho San Rafael Park, just west of the University of Nevada, Reno. The event is free to the public, and completed its 30th year in 2011. Part of the mission statement of the race is to celebrate the joy of flight.

The Great Reno Balloon Race, the largest free hot air ballooning event in the country, is held the first weekend after Labor day each September at Rancho San Rafael Regional Park in Reno, Nevada. The GRBR draws in a crowd of 140,000 on average each year, making it the largest free event in Northern Nevada.

The mission of The Great Reno Balloon Race is to provide a premier, safe, family-oriented, tourist-attractive, visually dramatic event that celebrates the joy of flight while remaining free. This mission has withheld the strains of time and a shifting economy yet remains free and larger than ever today.
