The Bisbee Coaster Race has been a tradition since 1914 and is billed as the oldest, longest and probably fastest gravity-powered race in the world. It is beloved by locals but is not without its share of controversy, including several injuries and more than one death.

On Fourth of July weekend, the population of this charming hilly town swells from 6,400 to 10,000.
