Description:

The Burning Man Ultramarathon will be a true test for the hardcore runners: in the desert, in the middle of the crazy, wonderful, hot, sandy, sweaty Burning Man festival, runners will face a series of loops around the perimeter, past The Man and The Temple, past various artwork, through part of the main camp of Burning Man to run 50 kilometers (31 miles). The race will take place on Wednesday, September 1st, starting at 5 a.m. (with mandatory race meeting at 4:45 a.m.).

Participants can attire themselves however they would like (the more entertaining, the better), but should wear running sneakers (or Vibrams, if that's how you roll), and MUST carry at least one bottle of water. There will be 2-3 aid stations with water and running snacks (and we welcome volunteers to help dispensing the water and assist the runners with cheers, hydration, snacks, and sweaty hugs -- please contact me if you'd like to volunteer!), and runners can leave drop bags at the main aid station. All finishers will receive finishers' medals and lots of love.

Please pass on this information to any runner you know. Volunteers and pacers are needed! We'll be having art cars along the course to spray people down. I anticipate most runners taking between four and eight hours to finish the run. People can contact me with any questions.
