About Us

Burrito League is a worldwide, community-driven challenge built around the simple idea of running a short Strava segment back and forth as many times as you can during the month of January (aka, segmenting). What started in Tempe, Arizona as a grassroots alternative to a discontinued corporate challenge has grown into a decentralized movement of local Burrito Leagues, each organized independently but united by a shared love of repetition, consistency, and connection with your local community. 

Each Burrito League operates independently in its own city or region, creating a publicly accessible Strava segment, often a sidewalk, path, or short stretch of road, and inviting anyone to participate. Walkers, runners, and first-timers are all welcome. 

This site exists as the central hub for Burrito League worldwide: a place to learn what Burrito League is, how leagues work & how to start one, and how to connect with other chapters across the globe. Burrito League is intentionally informal, low-barrier, and locally flavored. Each league offers it’s own prizes, usually in the form of burritos and often gear, race entries, etc. according to your local league sponsors. 

At its core, Burrito League is about connecting with your local community through consistency and shared effort

Mission Statement

To build inclusive running communities around the world through a simple, repeatable challenge that rewards consistency, participation, and shared effort over speed or performance.

Stewardship

This Burrito League hub is maintained by Jamil Coury of Aravaipa Running in support of the global Burrito League community. While the site provides structure and shared guidance, Burrito League itself remains a decentralized, community-owned concept. If you’re interested in starting a Burrito League in your city, see theForm League section of this website for a step-by-step guide to help you get one up and running.
