Emma Crawford Coffin Races

Emma Crawford's last wish was to be buried at the top of Red Mountain. After she passed away at the age of 19 of tuberculosis, her fiancee granted her wish with the help of 11 other men, who carried her coffin to the top. After years of weather and erosion, her remains were washed down the side of the mountain. It is said that she still haunts Red Moutain today, so to honor Emmas, each year Manitou Springs holds a coffin race and parade. Grab your team of five and decorate a coffin that is raced down Main Street.

When: October 29
