Mike The Headless Chicken 5K registration is now open!

Each year, thousands gather in Fruita to honor a chicken who lived for 18 months… without a head.

Today, the Mike the Headless Chicken Festival isn’t just about a headless chicken. It’s a celebration of life, thinking differently, and enjoying the little weird things that make life so good.
Help us kick off one of the oddest festivals you’ve ever heard of with the MTHCF 5K Run.

Inspired by the true tale of Mike, that’s been featured by NPR, National Geographic, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not, this event is your chance to race, walk, or just cross the road on one of Colorado’s most legendary mornings.

Registration is now open. Sign up today and get a limited edition Mike The Headless Chicken 25th Anniversary race shirt.
