Every September, on the second Saturday of the month, an event takes place in Hammond, Wisconsin that is like no other on the planet. The Running of the Llamas, now in its 19th year, is frivolous and at times farcical, but quite frankly, huge fun.

The llamas arrive

Pens keep them safe

The llamas are keen to be fussed

Dressing up is encouraged

The parade before the races

The parade is led by a piper

Some llamas run enthusiastically

Others less so!

The races are hard fought!

Winning a heat

The final

It’s not over until the llama crosses the finish line

Meet the overall winner for 2015

All over, it’s time to go home until next year
