About
The Creede Donkey Dash starts and finishes on Main Street adjacent to Basham Park. Teams consist of a burro and runner. The Main course covers about 10 miles through Creede's Historic Mining District. Competitors will pass by the Creede Underground Mining Museum, then turn right crossing Willow Creek and heading into East Willow Canyon. As they wind their way through the canyon, past the Phoenix PArk Trailhead, up and over the steep, grueling switchbacks, the course meets the Bachelor Loop once again where the course turns left. Runners make their way through the Weaver Town Site before passing the iconic and towering Commodore Mine Ore House as they begin the final mile of the race with a gradual downhill that ends on a cheering Main Street!
