HRCS Presents: The Great Llama Race (2025)
Saturday, July 26, 2025 | Check-in at 9:00 AM | Race at 10:30 AM
Burro Days on Front St. in Fairplay, Colorado
Get ready to lace up your shoes, grab your llama, and head to the starting line for The Great Llama Race 2025! With this year’s theme—School House Rock: Don’t Skip a Beat—we’re bringing big energy and even bigger heart to Colorado’s longest-running organ and tissue donation awareness event.
Proudly founded by Rocky Mountain Rural Health, the torch has now been passed to High Rockies Community School (HRCS), who is continuing the mission through this beloved event and now an exciting fundraiser to build a new community school facility.
What You’re Supporting:
- Organ & tissue donation awareness in partnership with Donor Alliance
- The transformation of a historic barn at Sacramento Creek Ranch into a flexible, multi-use indoor learning space—thanks to HRCS and our partners at Mountain Area Land Trust (MALT)
HRCS is a tuition-free public charter school focused on individualized, multi-age education rooted in outdoor exploration. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, 100% of The Great Llama Race proceeds go directly toward building our new school. Learn more at highrockiescommunityschool.org.
About the Race:
Now in its 26th year, The Great Llama Race is a whimsical, wacky, and wildly fun race where teams of 4 plus 1 llama compete on a 2.1-mile course filled with trails, creek crossings, and contagious laughter. Whether you’re racing to win or just in it for the fun, this event promises unforgettable memories.
Compete to win prizes in the following categories:
- 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Finishers
- Best Team Costume / Spirit
- Most Funds Raised
- And don’t forget the return of the legendary Giant Stuffed Llama Trophy—yours to hold for a year, then pass on!
