Are you curious about the history behind Colorado’s pack burro racing sport? Or are you considering a new challenge that’s also unique?

Join The Colorado Sun at Mountain Chalet in downtown Colorado Springs for a conversation on Colorado’s official state heritage sport: Pack Burro Racing, when a runner pairs with a burro to navigate historic trails with hundreds of feet of elevation changes.

The event is part of The Colorado Sun’s Colorado 150 series looking at the people, places and events that have shaped the state since its founding.

Meet people who train burros, the history of the sport and the secret to running with these intelligent and very stubborn creatures.
