Race Results

67 Teams competed in Saturdays Emma Crawford Coffin Races. The teams race in pairs 195 yards uphill on Manitou Ave.  Each team consists of one Emma who rides and 4 mourners who push the coffin.  Teams who lose a mourner, come out of their lane or break their coffin are disqualified.

The winner with a time of 25.9 seconds was Mountainside Skate Shop's "Night of the Living Shred". They are a new Manitou based business. Wait - rewind.  All of a sudden 2 days later, coffinrace.com has suddenly said these guys did not win. They in fact got 6th?  What a big fuck up. 
These are the real winners - Memorial Hospital ICU whose time was 25.9.

In second place is a local business, Adam's Mountain Cafe "Team Futurama" with a time of 26.6.
 Third place was taken by a team from Boulder who won the Frozen Dead Guy Coffin Race in Nederland last spring.  With a time of 26.8 seconds, I present "The Nerds".

  1. Wait Colorado has two coffin races? I think I need to move.
    I hope “Night of the Living Shreds” at least got a first place in the Best Name category, that rocks.
