Weekend at Burney

Weekend at Burney is a trail-running event in Lassen National Forest near Burney, California (22800 Guest Ranch Rd, Cassel). The race centers on a scenic, looped course that can be run as a 4.6-mile loop or a 13.8-mile option, with additional 24- and 48-hour timed formats and burro-race variants. The loop blends flowy single-track with forest roads, featuring rolling hills and wooded scenery, with Baum Lake visible on every lap and starry skies during evening sections. A fully stocked start/finish aid station accompanies abundant race swag—shirts, buffs, and coasters—with rewards for mileage milestones. Belt buckles are awarded for 100-mile finishes, and medals for finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
