For those of you who missed the famous Breckenridge Outhouse Races, it is your "doodie" to watch the video below...
Join us in reinventing Breckenridge’s colorful past during the third annual Kingdom Days. Celebrate 150 years of Breck’s diverse history with mining, exploration and adventure. Founded in 1859, Breckenridge was inadvertently excluded from U.S. maps, becoming known as "Colorado's Kingdom" until 1936 when it finally became incorporated. For an entire weekend, this real town turns upside down to pay tribute to gold fields and mining, exploration and adventure, brothels and saloons, booms and busts.
During Kingdom Days, the streets line-up with eager spectators cheering on competitors in Outhouse Races, an wildly popular event that is fast becoming a big tradition in Breck. Teams from Colorado come together to push and pull their outhouses of various themes and materials across the finish line. Colorado blue skies, smooth pavement, a little creativity and spirited racing partners fuel this quirky event that will bring thrills for years to come. So wash away your inhibitions, grab your friends and try for a seat on the Gold Throne, the Silver Moon or the Bronze Bucket.
To top off the wildly popular outhouse races, Kingdom Days brings an abundance of things to do throughout the weekend. Let loose at a town party, take a historic dredge boat tour, race in the Repertory Run and Kid’s Dash, get cultural at museum and gallery events, take in some live music and wager on your favorite character during a Wild West gun fight on Main Street. Whatever you choose, you’ll feel like mountain royalty during this one-of-a-kind weekend festival.
