Run With The Burros

Run With The Burros is a unique running event that celebrates the heritage of burros in the Indian Wells Valley, California. Participants can choose from three distances: a 26.2-mile marathon, an 18.5-mile run, and a 10-mile introductory course, with options to run with or without a burro. The event honors the tradition of pack burro racing, where runners guide their burros using a halter and lead rope. The course features scenic trails through the Sierra Nevada and Mojave Desert, with aid stations providing refreshments. This family-friendly event encourages community participation and promotes the bond between runners and their burros. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
