World Famous Outhouse Races

This is one time and place where potty humor is accepted and encouraged – the annual World Championship Outhouse Races. This free event dates back to when outdoor plumbing was outlawed in Virginia City, angry residents took to the streets with their outhouses in protest, and a tradition was born. This hilarious event pits teams of costumed outhouse racers against each other in an all-out potty race pushing their homemade outhouses down C Street toward the toilet paper finish line to claim the latrine title.
