Buu 250
Presidential Marathon Series
and Bike Marathon, 10K, 5K
and 1-Mile Fun Walk/Run
I’M RUNNING 250 MILES.
Starting September 2, I’m taking on the biggest challenge of my life: BUU 250. This is a 250-mile journey across our Navajo Nation but it’s about much more than running.
We’re bringing our government directly to you. Along the route, we’ll have resource fairs and programs in the field so you can connect with the people who serve you, ask questions, and be heard firsthand.
I want YOU to be part of this journey. You don’t have to run 250 miles to join me!
