The Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta is held yearly and takes place in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, in early October.
The Balloon Fiesta is a nine-day event starting on the 1st of October and has
over 500 hot air balloons turnout each year a long way from its humble
beginnings of mere 13 balloons in 1972.
Within the Fiesta is America's Challenge Gas Balloon Distance Race.
The field is set for the 25th America's Challenge gas balloon distance event.
Eight teams representing 5 countries are making preliminary preparations to
participate in this prestige event. Lifting off from a common launch site
on Balloon Fiesta Park, the idea is to fly further than any other team. If they
do, they win!
