Graveyard Grand Prix Coffin Races
About this race
Get ready for the second annual Graveyard Grand Prix - Conway’s spooky, high-energy coffin race through downtown!
Teams will race their creative, human-powered “coffins” down the course in a battle of speed, creativity, and bragging rights. Each team will bring their own unique coffin design, costumes, and personality to compete for awards and the chance to be part of one of Conway’s most exciting Halloween traditions.
Whether you’re racing for the championship or joining in the fun as a Spirit Division team, creativity is encouraged and costumes, themes, and over-the-top designs are welcome. Awards will recognize speed, creativity, and crowd favorites, with plenty of opportunities for teams to show off their personalities.
Grab your crew, start building, and get ready for a frightfully fun day in downtown Conway!

Competitive Race Team
The Competitive Racing Division is limited to 16 teams and will follow a double-elimination tournament format. Teams will compete head-to-head throughout the day, with each team guaranteed at least two races before elimination. The tournament will continue until one team is crowned the Coffin Race Champion.
Spirit Division Team
The Spirit Division is designed for teams that want to be part of the excitement while placing a greater emphasis on creativity, costumes, and crowd engagement. Rather than participating in the tournament bracket, Spirit Division teams will receive two featured Showcase Runs during the event between tournament rounds. Spirit Division teams are encouraged to go all out with themed costumes, creative coffin designs, and entertaining performances that engage the crowd and embrace the spirit of the event.
