One of the most unique competitions in ballooning — pilots in gas-filled balloons launch for a long-distance race that could take them hundreds or thousands of miles across North America. The last balloon to land wins. Watch the dramatic launch from Balloon Fiesta Park as these graceful craft drift silently into the New Mexico sky.
