Run With The Burros

Run With The Burros is a unique trail running event held annually on the second Saturday of April in Inyokern, California, near Highway 14 and Indian Wells Canyon Road. The race offers four distances: 5, 10, 18, and 26.2 miles, with participants having the option to run with or without a donkey, competing in separate categories. The course emphasizes challenging terrain over exact mileage. This fundraising event supports the California Breakfast Burritos and the Forever Home Donkey Rescue & Sanctuary, both volunteer-driven charitable organizations. The race features a staggered start, with burro teams beginning first, creating a distinctive and spirited atmosphere for runners and animal companions alike.
