New Undie Run Relay Takes Place at 26th World Championship Outhouse Races
The historic mountain mining town of Virginia City, Nevada continues its reputation for quirky events with the new Undie Run Relay as part of the World Championship Outhouse Races, Oct. 3-4, 2015. Teams of three compete in a relay race while sporting their best undergarments in hopes of winning the ultimate bragging rights.
Racing against three other teams down the town’s main drag, C Street, each runner runs the length of the course, slams a 25 oz. beer and completes an obstacle before tagging the next team member with the toilet paper “baton.” With a two race guarantee and extra points for running in underwear, winning teams in each heat advance. Winning teams receive prizes with grand prizes going to the top three teams.
The inaugural Undie Run Relay takes place as part of the World Championship Outhouse Races which pits teams of costumed outhouse racers against each other as they sprint down the street with outhouses, one rider taking the throne as the other two race to the toilet paper finish line.
The Parade of Outhouses begins at noon Saturday, Oct. 3 with both undie and outhouse races immediately following. Undie Run Relay winners will be announced Saturday following the races. Outhouse racing continues Sunday, Oct. 4 at noon and concludes with the crowning of the champion outhouse racing team.
Undie Run Relay teams must consist of three people with all participants over the age of 21. Online team registration is open until Oct. 2, 2015.
The World Championship Outhouse Races are sponsored by Dolan Auto Group, Mustang Ranch Steakhouse, Coors Light, and Camelot Party Rentals. For more information on this event or to enter a team, visit online or call the Virginia City Tourism Commission (VCTC) at 775-847-7500.
