Meghan Himschoot
Colorado Pack Burro Racing
Meghan grew up in Wyoming with horses and other animals. She always enjoyed running, and when she found out about pack burro racing, she knew she had to check it out! It combined her two favorite things, animals and running. She did her first burro training run October of 2018, and her first race in 2019. She originally thought she would run one race, and that would be it -like a bucket list sort of thing. She now has two donkeys of her own, and does 5-9 races a year!
