2011 Bare Burro a Success!

Three years ago as I freehiked those quite dirt roads imagining people running and walking naked through the hills above Olive Dell Ranch, and thought up the name “Bare Burro 5k”, how could I have known what a wonderful event it would become? How could anyone have known?

The April 17th, 2011, 2nd Annual Bare Burro 5k at Olive Dell Ranch was a great success. Over 100 nude participants enjoyed the course and the awards ceremony afterwards. Then, many stayed to relax in the sun and eat with spectators and new friends on the deck and around the pool. This year the winning time was a blazing 19:40. (Way to go Patrick who asked before the race if he could run it barefoot!)

New people ran, including many who had never attended a naturist event before. The local running club attended this year, along with many other new faces. Cottontails abounded. What a great way to introduce new people to nude recreation!

The event was not only fun, it was a financial success; expenses were paid and the club made a profit. It started Olive Dell’s season off with a bang!

Thanks to all of the Olive Dell residents, Don of www.ThingstoDoNude.com , and other non-residents who volunteered their time. (I’d like to personally recognize my wonder wife, Jane, for all of her help during the race. For those who don’t know her, she’s the one who painted numbers on everyone’s legs.) The event wouldn’t have been nearly as successful without so much help.

We all look forward to next year. Be sure to attend the 3rd Annual Bare Burro 5k in 2012. It’s such fun to run bare in the sun!
