Victor, CO - September 12, 2015 -- In Victor, Colorado, the words 'stubborn' and 'ornery' have been used to describe two things: its population, and its burros. So when the idea of creating a quirky event to draw visitors to its city limits, the idea of pitting an irresistible force against an immovable object in a timed speed event seemed like a no-brainer. In this moment of inspiration, the City of Victor's Race Day was born.
On Saturday, September 12th, the City of Victor and Roscoe's Coffee House invites participants and spectators alike to come and enjoy a day of racing unlike any other in the area.
The day starts off with a bicycle race sponsored by the Penguin Cycling Club. Participants of all ages will race a challenging 8.19 mile course and compete for the first place prize of ... a rock. Yes, a rock. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m., with the race itself beginning at 8:30 a.m.
Beginning at 10:30 a.m., the weigh-in for the Pack Burro race begins, with a noon start time scheduled for a scenic (and likely hilarious) 10.75 mile race for the coveted gold pan trophy.
"Race Days is a fun and unique way to bring people together," says City of Victor Administrator Debra Downs. "It is an event we look forward to each year to introduce our town to other area communities--that, and we get to use the word 'ass' without appearing vulgar. That's always a bonus."
The proceeds from Race Day will benefit the City of Victor's Trail Fund. For additional event information please visit www.victorcolorado.com.
