EMMA CRAWFORD COFFIN RACES & PARADE

An unusual race on the streets of Manitou Springs that pays tribute to the legend of Emma Crawford whose empty coffin would have been discovered by children in the village and haunted from the scene. Each year, the race runs over several teams of 5 participants composed of a person disguised as Emma who rolls on a casket, bed or other winch to the legend, and shot by 4 equally costumed runners.
