Frederick Pack Burro Race
The Frederick Pack Burro Race is held in Frederick, Colorado as part of the town's Miners Day celebrations. The event is noted as the 8th Annual Frederick Miners Day Pack Burro Race and takes place on September 19, 2026.
The event is described in sources as a 10K race; an alternate notice also refers to a six mile run. The course runs mostly on paved trails and includes several small bridges.
The race route starts downtown at Fifth Street and Oak Street, heads north along the trail and passes through a tunnel toward the Frederick Recreation Area. The course loops around Milavec Lake, returns south to the Frederick Gateway at Colorado Boulevard and Highway 52, then proceeds north to the finish area in Centennial Park.
The venue for the finish is Centennial Park, located at 630 Eighth Street, Frederick, CO 80530. The description focuses on the town-to-park course, the trail and lake loop, and the pack burro format tied to Miners Day history. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
