About this race

The Colorado Potato Festival kicks off on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Chapman Park in Monte Vista, and we’re starting strong with the annual Tater Trot 5K Walk & Run at 8:30 AM!

Whether you're a seasoned runner or just in it for the fun, this course is for all ages and fitness levels. It’s a great way to move your body, connect with neighbors, and be part of something that truly matters.

Thanks to our generous sponsors, CPAC, SLV Health, Farm Fresh Direct, and the City of Monte Vista! The Tater Trot has already raised over $40,000 for the Pediatric Diabetes Fund through continued support of this meaningful cause. That means real assistance for local families facing the daily challenges of Type 1 Diabetes. This year, we’re going even bigger, and we want you with us.

Here’s how you can help:

  • Run or walk with us! Your participation makes a difference.
  • Spread the word! Bring your friends, coworkers, or the whole family.
  • Join the crew! If you're interested in helping plan, promote, or volunteer on race day, reach out to Jessica Bradshaw at jessica@coloradopotato.org or 719-852-3322 to get on the committee email list.

Let’s make this year’s Tater Trot the best one yet, for the fun, for the festival, and most importantly, for the kids.

See you at the starting line!
