The Cochrane Outhouse Races will take place in historic downtown Cochrane on September 22nd 2024 where teams from local businesses and organizations push homemade outhouse race carts down First Street, chuck wagon-style. This year's event will include a small festival of local vendors. Races will start at 11am.
All outhouses must have a toilet inside, four people from the team will push, and a fifth will ride on the “throne” inside. This year, only runners can turn the cart; the rider is just along for the ride, and riders must wear helmets. We welcome any creative interpretations of these basic rules!
To register, each team contributes a donation, with all proceeds donated by the Rocky Mountain Rotary Club to local organizations in need. The benefactor each year is announced in advance and recognized at the event itself.
The generosity of our community is remarkable, making this quirky event a draw for visitors from far and wide, always bringing laughs and friendly competition. Join us for a fun-filled afternoon!
