Pony Express Re-Ride

The Annual Pony Express Re-Ride is a 10-day, 24-hour-a-day commemorative horseback relay covering roughly 1,900 miles from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Held each June, hundreds of National Pony Express Association volunteers carry letters in a traditional mochila, retracing the historic 1860-61 route across eight states.

It will be in Nevada June 22-24, 2026.

Spectators are encouraged to attend the mochila exchanges, meet the riders, take photos, and engage with local Pony Express volunteers at each major stop. Please note once the first rider leaves times are approximate; follow the ride live via GPS tracking at https://nationalponyexpress.org/re-ride/follow-the-ride/. Location is the approximate exchange location.
