32nd annual World Championship Outhouse Races return this Saturday to Virginia City
Potty humor is accepted and encouraged this Saturday in Virginia City for the 32nd annual World Championship Outhouse Races.
The free event pays homage to the days when outdoor plumbing was outlawed in Virginia City, angry residents took to the streets with their outhouses in protest, and a tradition was born.
Hilarity ensues as the event pits teams of costumed outhouse racers against each other in an all-out potty race pushing their home-made outhouses down C Street toward the toilet paper finish line to claim the latrine title.
The Parade of Outhouses begins Saturday at noon with races immediately following.

Meanwhile, to say everything is haunted in this old mining town is not too far from the truth. Virginia City, noted as one of America’s most haunted towns, takes it one step further by officially dubbing October as “Hauntober” and offers up numerous ways for visitors to get their spook on.
Haunted places to stay, saloons to have a cold one, creepy tours and even lighted evening trains, the town becomes an epicenter of the supernatural. Go here for event lineups, places to stay and visit and more information.
