Run With The Burros

Inyokern, United States • 11 Apr 2026

Run With The Burros is a unique pack burro race and trail run held annually on the second Saturday of April in Inyokern, California, near Highway 14 and Indian Wells Canyon Road. The event offers four distances: 5, 10, 18, and 26.2 miles, with participants having the option to run with or without a donkey.

The race fosters a friendly, community atmosphere celebrating trail running and burro companionship. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
