Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Northern California, the Weekend at Burney offers an unforgettable trail adventure on October 22, 2026, in Burney, CA. Organized by Intermountain Endurance, this unique event caters to all, from seasoned ultrarunners to casual walkers, and even includes a distinctive burro race option. Typical race day conditions in late October boast pleasant highs around 68F and lows near 38F, with only an 11% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for hitting the trails.

The challenging yet scenic 4.6-mile looped course winds through a beautiful private property near Baum Lake, encompassing a perfect 50/50 mix of flowy single-track trail and dirt service road. Runners will navigate rolling hills and wooded areas, gaining approximately 370 feet of elevation per loop, all while immersed in vibrant fall colors and diverse wildlife. Every lap offers serene views of Baum Lake, and evening runners are treated to magical starry night skies. The looped design fosters a "super chill, low-pressure vibe," allowing participants to track their progress and run as much or as little as desired within their chosen time.

Participants in the 48HR, 24HR, 12HR, or 4.6M distances will find robust support at the start/finish hub, which doubles as a fully stocked aid station. Here, runners can refuel with traditional snacks, soda, water, electrolytes, hot made-to-order food, and a cozy broth bar. Beyond the physical challenge, the Weekend at Burney is celebrated as a memorable "trail party" promising epic views and awesome company, embodying Intermountain Endurance's community-focused spirit. All finishers completing one or more loops receive a medal, with awards and a cash prize for those covering the most miles.
