RULES FOR BURRO RACERS

If participant becomes separated from their burro (participant and burro are no longer racing as a connected team), the runner must link back up with the burro and return to the place they became separated before continuing the race. Failure to follow these rules will result in disqualification. The winning combination consists of the participant and burro team to cross the finish line. The participant may be leading or following the burro. The burro's nose crossing the finish line first constitutes the winner.  *Rules borrowed from the Western Pack Burro Ass-ociation
