Burning Man Ultra

Burning Man Ultramarathon 50k is an ultra-distance running event held at Black Rock City, Nevada, during Burning Man. The 50-kilometer course crosses the playa with a flat, fun profile. The route starts at Pink Lightning Camp, as runners traverse the dusty landscape in the unique Burning Man atmosphere, where costumes are common and the spirit is playful.

The event is volunteer-run and free with a valid Burning Man ticket; registration is required. Features include a supportive community, optional costumes, and chances for high-fives, trampolines, and champagne along the way. It takes place in the inhospitable Black Rock Desert with extreme heat, wind, and dust. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
