Rollinsville Pack Burro Race

Welcome to the Rollinsville Pack Burro Race! 
Please read the following. 

-Camping and Donkey Overnight-

No Camping in Rollinsville. If you are running the Frederick Pack Burro Race. We ask that you stay the night there and head to Rollinsville in the morning. Please make sure you have topped off your water totes for your animals. We do not have water at the start/finish.  If you wish to camp closer to the race, 8 miles south of the Start/Finish is the Gilpin County Fairgrounds located at 230 Norton Dr, Black Hawk, CO 80422. Your animals can rest in the pens, but you MUST clean up behind youself. There is no charge for the Fairgrounds, donations appricated. We are working on a port-a-pottie for this location. It is possible that there are no bathrooms available, so keep that in mind. I will update the closest bathroom to the pens once I here back from the county.
