2026 course will be confirmed after Pink Lightning gets placed, likely June 2026!
2025: Pink Lightning is 7:15 and C! And yep, we’ll run through Center Camp again! Let’s be part of the Center Camp Spectacle! See course map & turn by turn directions below – exact route (w turnaround point) will be confirmed on the playa.
You can also consult with Dr. Drew Fehsenfeld on issues of preventing injuries to the musculoskeletal system.
2025 Course: Start at Pink Lightning. Immediately head left to 7:30. Make a right on 7:30, then head to good ol’ Esplanade. Head left. Wave to crowds, smile at the man. Make left on 10:00. When you get to 10:00 & L, turn right, and run straight all the way to trash fence. There will be a giant pink lightning bolt covered gate there; run through it, enjoying the spectacle of the art piece, making a right after you run through it. Follow the trash fence around, keep going, eat/drink at aid station, keep going, until you hit 2:00, over by the Walk-In Camping. Run through the next spectacular gate there. Yep. Run along 2:00, pass all streets. Left on Esplanade. Keep going. Suffer. Sweat. Smile. Turn left into Center Camp, running directly through the middle of it all, past our cheer squad, and go straight down 6:00 until you get to C. Make a right. At 7:15 and C, smile, refresh. Drink water, eat. Repeat 3 more times. Run the out and back – run like you’re going to run a 5th loop but look for the turnaround point (915 and Esplanade, right in front of Pink Heart)…turn around and run back the way you came. YOU ARE DONE!
