Get ready to soak up the sun and hit the trails at the Summer Vibes Rally on June 20, 2026, in picturesque Lyons, CO. This isn't just a race; it's a vibrant mountain festival designed to kick off your summer with exhilarating competition and a lively atmosphere. Drawing inspiration from the popular Old Man Winter Rally and the beloved Burning Can Fest, Summer Vibes combines diverse running and cycling events with live music, delicious food, and a true celebratory spirit, all centered at Bohn Park with its expansive mountain views.
Runners can choose their adventure with either the challenging 5-mile run or a dynamic 4-hour relay event, which includes options like a Trail Run Relay or a spirited Beer Relay. The 5-mile course features two 2.5-mile laps of mixed terrain, guiding participants along fun singletrack with amazing scenery and notable elevation changes. Aid stations are strategically placed between laps, offering essential hydration with Tailwind Nutrition and snacks to keep you fueled. Typical race day conditions in late June bring pleasant highs around 86°F and comfortable lows near 53°F, with only a 7% chance of precipitation, ensuring ideal weather for a day of outdoor fun.
What truly sets the Summer Vibes Rally apart is its unique festival environment. Beyond the races, participants and spectators can enjoy a full schedule of live bands, kid-friendly activities, cold-plunge tubs, wood-fired saunas, and onsite camping options. Produced by the same experienced crew behind other beloved Colorado events, the Summer Vibes Rally promises a memorable blend of athletic endeavor and festival joy at the gateway to the Rocky Mountains.
