💨 Abstract

Backcountry runners are participating in burro races in New Mexico and Colorado, testing their endurance and partnership with burros, donkeys used as pack animals. The races, inspired by Old West history, involve a delicate balance as runners guide the burros over unpaved roads and desert trails. Participants can buy, rent, or borrow burros, with some races extending over 30 miles.
