During Burro Days on Front St. in Fairplay, Colorado

One of Park County’s most beloved community traditions — teams, llamas, costumes, laughter, and a little bit of mountain-town chaos, all in support of High Rockies Community School.

Each year, teams of four partner with a llama tackle a 2-mile course through the heart of Fairplay during Burro Days. Part race, part costume contest, part community fundraiser — and completely unforgettable.

Registration is officially OPEN for HRCS Presents: The Great Llama Race! 

Last year was incredible. The community came together in a huge way through racing, fundraising, sponsorships, volunteering, and donations. Together, the fundraising goal was exceeded and helped bring the barn at Sacramento Creek Ranch to life for High Rockies Community School students.

Because of your support, students now have expanded opportunities for outdoor learning, creativity, exploration, and community connection.

Let’s do it again! Now in its 27th year, this beloved community fundraiser returns fully led by HRCS. Expect creativity, community spirit, unforgettable costumes, and a race experience you won’t find anywhere else.

What You’re Supporting:

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 the school. Learn more at highrockiescommunityschool.org.

The Great Llama Race is more than just a fun day during Burro Days. Every team, donation, and fundraiser helps support meaningful, hands-on learning opportunities for local students while keeping this quirky and unforgettable community tradition alive.

Whether you plan to race, fundraise, sponsor, volunteer, or simply cheer from the sidelines, we would love to have you involved.
