The Great Bristol Outhouse Race brought crowds to Main Street in Bristol to witness the 45th annual running of the toilets on Thursday, July 4th 2024. Four heats of commode competition had racers sprint for a block with their decorated loos. Each mobile lavatory team had to include one member who squatted on a facsimile potty as their teammates propelled them. The eventual winners, a team from LaRose Surveys, were pooped after the race.
