Donkey Derby begins with a gunshot start. As you can imagine the donkeys take off running. Trouble is, part of the race includes stopping at station along the way to pick up supplies and then starting again. Sometimes the donkeys even play along and sometimes, well they do as they please!
Donkeys have always been a large part of Cripple Creek’s history. Today they can be found roaming the hills, wild and free. Each year the City holds Donkey Derby Days in celebration of the important part the Donkeys played. I enjoy watching these cute creatures. Visit the Cripple Creek Website
