Burro race specific info

Burro racers, bring your own donkey and join the fun! You’re responsible for your ass. Treat your burro humanely—no striking, dragging, or mistreatment, or you’re disqualified. For an official finish, equip your burro with a pack saddle carrying a shovel, pick, and pan (attach securely, your call on how). Max 15-foot rope length. If you’ve got a Jack, keep him under control. Your burro can’t carry you, but you’re welcome to try carrying them—good luck! Let’s grow this assome sport: Run the 4.6-mile loop as many times as you and your burro want in 12 hours, or choose the 4.6- or 13.8-mile options. (12-hour burro racers can swap burros and flip the loop direction for extra fun!)
