Pink Lightning is the camp at Burning Man that hosts the Burning Man Ultramarathon. It is a camp of runners and their friends. Looking for a camp? Here are a few of our requirements:
- You’re kind, you like us, and we like you! You feel like a good fit with our ultrarunning community.
- You are running the ultramarathon, or you will volunteer during the ultramarathon.
- You help out with build and/or breakdown.
- You participate in the camp in some sort of way.
- You take on work shifts, and pay camp dues.
Interested in joining? Fill out the contact us page to see if we have any space for you! Tell us a bit about yourself, why you want to camp with us, what you would contribute to the camp (something BEYOND good vibes! Are you an electrician who wants to help us build our camp, or you are an Italian grandma who loves to feed people and you want to make your homemade marinara sauce?), why you aren’t camping with your old camp OR how you are prepping for your first burn. Don’t use AI to write your email and put some thought and heart into your message – that goes a long way! Be real! We are often limited with space so if you have an RV, we’re likely not to be the best spot for you!
We generally open up our camp to new campmates and camp planning around the general sale. Didn’t get a ticket in the general sale? Tickets always appear so still reach out to us – and if you are part of our camp, you’ll have 50ish people helping YOU find a ticket!
