Internationally Televised Adventure Series Coming to Putnam
The Fireball Run is making a pit stop in Putnam County this fall! The Fireball Run is a nationally streamed, internationally televised, adventure-travel series. Join Putnam County as we welcome teams of adventure seekers as they participate in an epic 2,000 mile, life sized, trivia road race.
Their upcoming 10th anniversary season will feature teams as they venture through New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, and Massachusetts in pursuit of America’s most unique places and historic artifacts. Only one team will win in this entertaining, exciting, and emotional series.
The program also has a charitable component that accompanies the contestants as they travel from destination to destination. The Race to Recover America’s Missing Children never ends, and the Fireball Run seeks to spread awareness on each leg of the show’s journey. Each team will be given flyers of missing children to hand out to locals and each team will have a missing child associated with their vehicle. Through their efforts, the Fireball Run has successfully returned over 40 children to their families in ten years of production.
On the afternoon of Friday, September 30, Route 6N in Mahopac will transform into the ultimate stage for the Fireball Run finish line. Teams will be utilizing the day to traverse the county in pursuit of destinations that span from Brewster to the Hudson River. We invite everyone to help us cheer on each team as they cross the finish line.
Join us again the morning of Saturday, October 1, for a day filled with excitement and family fun. Beginning at 7 a.m., the streets of Mahopac will be lined with contestant’s hot rods before they take off for their final destination of Amesbury, MA. We encourage everyone to stick around as the day continues with the Italian American Club of Mahopac’s Columbus Day Parade at 10 a.m. Following the parade, spend some time experiencing local vendors at the Greater Mahopac-Carmel Chamber of Commerce’s annual Street Fair.
Fireball Run in Putnam is an incredible opportunity to display some of the county’s world class destinations, while also showing off the great community strength and pride that Putnam is known for. The show will be available to stream on Amazon Prime, and will be aired on network television internationally.
