Distances

There are 4 distances, a 26.2 mile trail marathon, an 18 mile, a 10 mile, and an Introductory 5 mile distance. Distances are approximate, as it is the terrain that really matters. All are open to burro/runner teams, or runners without burros competing in separate categories on the same course. There is a slightly staggered start with burros starting first.
