Course & Travel Notes

The Red or Green Fun Run takes place in Albuquerque on September 20, 2026, with an 8:00 AM start time, so you'll want to arrive early to soak in the sunrise at 6:53 AM. The venue sits at 5092 feet elevation, which is worth noting if you're not acclimated to altitude—plan accordingly and maybe arrive a day or two early to adjust. You'll be flying into Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ), which is just 5.6 miles from the race venue, making for an easy transfer. Expect typical early fall weather with highs around 86°F and lows around 50°F, so bring layers for the cool morning start and the warmer afternoon.
