Event summary

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the Just Peachy event, hosted by the Grand Junction Sports Commission on Saturday, August 9, 2025, in the charming town of Palisade, Mesa! This exciting day features two race distances: a fun 5K perfect for families and beginners, and a challenging 10K for those looking to push their limits. Participants will experience stunning views of Palisade while enjoying a festive atmosphere that celebrates the town's renowned Peach Fest.

The Just Peachy event not only promotes health and wellness but also gives back to the community. Last year's race raised an impressive $5,204 for the Palisade Police and Fire Departments, showcasing the event's commitment to supporting local first responders. Each registration comes with a delightful package, including an event t-shirt, a finisher medal, peaches, and tickets to Friday's Peach Fest activities. Join us for a day filled with fun, fitness, and community spirit at the Just Peachy event!

Event information

Organiser's description

Join the Grand Junction Sports Commission for the Just Peachy 5K & 10K. This fun 5K is great for families and beginners. The return of the Just Peachy 10K provides runners a chance to challenge themselves while taking in the beautiful views of Palisade.
Historically Just Peachy has been a part of Palisade Peach Fest, last year we made the move to the Saturday before Peach Fest to help reduce our impact on the Town of Palisade. We love seeing the growth of both the Peach Fest and Just Peachy, however, this meant First Responders were stretched thin over the busy weekend. By moving race day we were able to help relieve some of the stress and ensure the Police and Fire Departments can continue to provide top-tier services to both residents and visitors.
Registration includes an event t-shirt, a finisher medal, peaches, tickets to Friday of Peach Fest, and more!
We are proud to announce that the 2024 Just Peachy 5k raised $5,204 for the Palisade Police & Fire Departments!
