MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. — The Emma Crawford Coffin Races, Parade and Festival returns to Manitou Springs for the 29th year this October.
The Emma Crawford festivities honor Emma L. Crawford, a 19th-century, Manitou Springs resident whose coffin washed away several years after her burial.Those looking to participate in the coffin races had to sign up and turn in their $100 entry fee to the Manitou Springs Chamber of Commerce, Visitors Bureau, and Office of Economic Development by 5 p.m. on Friday, October 20.
On the day of the race, each team will bring a coffin that meets the event's"Coffin Specifications." Each coffin will be inspected before the race starts, and coffins that don't meet the specifications will be disqualified at that time. Each team must be made up of five adults— four"pushers" to run and propel the coffin forward and one"Emma" who will sit inside the coffin and steer. All Emmas must wear helmets during the race. Pushers are encouraged to wear protective gear.
Saturday, October 28, is when most of the festivities will take place. You can find the event schedule below or on the Emma Crawford Coffin Races and Festival website.Parking is available for free at 1675 Garden of the Gods Rd.There is a designated rideshare pick-up/drop-off at 484 Manitou Ave.
