Yes, you can run with an ass in Crown Hill Park.
On a beautiful late May evening with lengthening shadows intimating the approach of sunset, members of a Thursday night run club gathered at Crown Hill Park in Wheat Ridge for their weekly fun run. On this night, though, something special was afoot.
But the run at Crown Hill Park wasn’t part of racing circuit. Rather, it was burro running for city slickers. And they loved it. “It’s not like I’ve never run with an animal before, I’ve run with my dog,” Gonzales said. “It was just a little different. They are so much bigger, and she was just so sweet. It just felt like we were in sync with each other. She seemed very much at peace and happy to be out there with her burro friends. Everybody just felt really connected and really happy to be there.
“I kind of call this the ReDONKulous Ranch Road Show,” Wann said. “We go from trailhead to trailhead. The donkeys do run at different speeds, so I like to pair them up with people and their abilities so the donkey’s not frustrated, or the person. We want to have a successful outing, even if we’re just training or having fun.”
Scott Fauble, a Wheat Ridge High School graduate and professional runner who was the top American at the Boston Marathon this year, ran with a burro named Smokey in a race at Idaho Springs last year after his wife tried burro racing and liked it. “I like the idea of keeping old traditions alive,” said Lee, who worked as a mall Santa Claus for more than 30 years in Denver and still makes appearances as Santa, not to mention conducting historical presentations portraying 19th century mountain men and fur trappers. “I like the idea of supporting these old mining communities that have had to turn to tourism to survive and thrive. I like the idea of giving burros productive, purpose-filled lives.
