Outhouse Races

What an amazing and fun event, done on the last Saturday of February every year. They build outhouses, put them on skis, and race them down the snow track. It's a $5 donation/day to enter, $3 if you purchase pins beforehand. If out of the area, they will mail them to you.

Outhouse Races

They race outhouses on the Main Street of their little town on the last Saturday in February. The outhouses are mounted on skis and must have a toilet seat and roll of tp inside. This little town of 300 swells to 3500 spectators during this unusual wacky event! Trenary is located smack dab in the middle of the Upper Peninsula.
