5K Postponed
The Plano Balloon Festival has canceled the festival portion of the event. However, they are still having the race. We will not be participating in the race as Team Journey, but you are welcome to attend the race. Unfortunately, the Plano Balloon Festival is not giving refunds per their refund policy that can be found by clicking here. We are postponing our 5K until November and changing it to a virtual 5K like we did last year. The exact date is TBD.
If you already registered with us and want to participate in November, you will not have to register again. In the meantime, you can customize your peer-to-peer fundraising page and still raise funds for Journey.
We will be updating this website and contacting you as we finalize the details for the virtual 5K in November.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We were looking forward to seeing all of you at the festival and resuming our traditional 5K. However, the safety of all of you, our staff, and the Board of Directors are of the utmost importance to us.
Thank you for your patience during this time and for your dedication to Journey of Hope.
