How does it work?

Teams of five (5), four (4) racers and one (1) rider, race a bed on wheels down a 100-yard track. Bed must adhere to guidelines.

Youth (middle and high school age groups) and adult teams (18+) are accepted.

The entry fee for teams is $100.00 to be paid at the time of registration.

Teams choose their own theme to decorate the bed and participants are encouraged to dress along with the chosen bed theme.

Teams advance through a series of heats and some serious fun!
