www.NationalPonyExpress.org/re-ride
- When: TBA 2025
- Description:
Each June the National Pony Express Association recreates the Pony Express in a Commemorative Re-Ride, where letters are carried by horseback over the original trail that stretches from St. Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA. The 1,966 mile, eight state event is conducted 24 hours a day over a 10-day period until the mail is delivered to its destination! On Tuesday, June 18th, riders will exchange the mail at Rock Creek Station’s East Ranch at approximately 1:45 pm.
Arrive early, as the times are estimates and the Pony can be ahead or behind schedule! Go to nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/ for a complete ride schedule and track the progress of the riders as it happens!
