Greenland Open Space Pack Burro Race presented by Double Rainbow Ranch (8 Mile and 3 Mile)

WELCOME Welcome to the 4th annual Greenland Open Space Pack Burro Race presented by Double Rainbow Ranch! Grab your burro and join us for a fun and rewarding day on the majestic Greenland Open Space Trail in beautiful Larkspur, Colorado. HISTORY Greenland was once a bustling little village and shipping point. By 1871, the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad extended to the site and it was platted as a 20-acre town in 1875, just prior to Colorado becoming a state. Greenland continued to thrive with two general stores, a post office, school, and even a saloon or two. The railroad stations shipped out livestock, potatoes, grains, milk, building stones and pottery. The ranching industry continued eve after the town declined in the 1930s. RACE RULES Each entrant will pay a fee as determined by the Race Director for each race. Race Directors will have discretion as to how the entry fees will be used; entry fees are generally used for race prizes and race expenses. The entry fee must accompany the entry application and will not be refunded. Runners must be 14 years or older on the day of the race to participate. No race day registration will be available. We strongly recommend runners secure a burro partner before registering for an event. Refunds will not be issued on the basis of a participant's inability to locate a burro teammate in time for the event. To register your burro partner for the event a participant must select "create a donkey team" to add your unique, password protected burro by name. Once a runner has done so they may register under the burro's name as their "team". Runners will not be able to add a burro for which they do not have a password. If a runner needs to switch burros prior to the event, or needs to add their burro's name to their team, they can contact race management to do so. Good sportsmanship is encouraged and will be rewarded. Please be kind, considerate, and have a great time enjoying our wonderful animals and ope
