It’s about showing up for our people. The Buu 250 is designed to bring the work of government directly to the people.

Resource fairs will take place at communities along the route, creating a direct connection between residents and the departments and programs working to serve them. We want you there. Walk with us. Ride with us. Bring your family. Come learn. Come cheer.   Walk a mile Bring your bike or ride your horse Join the 5K or 10K run  Visit the Government Resource Fair Cheer us on along the route!   This is a journey across Diné Bikéyah, but more importantly, it’s a journey with our people.
