Monday, September 5th

Plan a day in Park City to enjoy all that the city has to offer for their Miners’ Day Celebration. Start in City Park with a hearty breakfast of pancakes, eggs, ham, hashbrowns and more from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. $5 per person, children 4 and under eat free!

Beginning at 8:00 a.m. will be the Miners’ Day 5K, you can watch the start and finish from City Park, as the runners race in all kinds of fun costumes.

Next is the much anticipated, Running of the Balls. Much safer than the Running of the Bulls, you can ‘adopt’ a ball for $5 or 5 for $20 and set it loose at the top of Main Street at 10:45 a.m. All 10,000 balls are tracked down their route and the first balls through the chute will win their owners’ valuable prizes, such as season ski passes, hotel stays, dinners and many other great donated prizes. Sponsored by the Park City Rotarians this benefits other charity projects.

Once the balls clear, it is time for the Parade! The route runs the length of Main Street, before skipping over to Park Avenue and on down to Park City.

Noon kicks off the Cookout in the Park as well as live music, the kid’s race, the mucking and drilling competition, and finishing up with the skateboard bowl jam.
