Description
Follow the Pony Express Re-Ride and the mail as they travel more than 1,800 miles from St. Joseph, MO to Sacramento, CA. The Pony Riders travel day and night to make the 10 day trip. There is a GPS that is carried in the Mochila, which “pings” every five minutes, to mark a Pony Rider icon on the map for you to track. You follow the event virtually or plan a visit to see it in action! Check out the schedule to plan a trip: 2024 Re-Ride Events to See in Person.
