Virginia City 27th Annual World Championship Outhouse Races

These outrageous races pit teams of costumed outhouse racers against each other. One person rides and the remaining team members push, pull or drag the decorated outhouses down Virginia City, Nevada's famed C Street. This fun, free and hilarious event marks a moment in history when the townspeople once took their outhouses to the streets and marched to the county courthouse to protest new ordinances that outlawed outdoor toilets. Since then the event has become an annual tradition to relive history and honor the golden age of outdoor plumbing.
