WHY RUN IT?

How many ultras can you run in your birthday suit, or better yet, covered in gold paint? How many offer you martinis and mimosas at the rest stops, and have onlookers cheering you on from couches parked in the desert? Just one, and it is probably the most unique way to experience one of the world’s most epic social experiments. Because how many Burners are going to pause on partying to haul themselves around the trash fence 4 times?

“If it scares you, it might be a good thing to try.”

- Seth Godin

When people talk of Black Rock City, the site of Burning Man, they’re talking about it as a city because it is one, albeit for a limited time. Each year, participants dream the city up, build it, and tear it down after, almost entirely on a volunteer basis. That’s pretty cool for a small municipality with population 70,000.
