2022 - United Way Bed Race
2022 distances
Running
Bed Race Fun Prix
These beds might look better than they run, and we encourage area businesses, groups, and organizations to be creative in all the things- car décor, music, theme, engineering, and team costumes. Teams of 5 adults will participate in the Parade of Beds- First and Second place winners will be awarded for costume and design. Additionally, teams will use their own strength to power their "bodacious" beds in bracket matches to determine who comes out on top with First or Second place in fastest car. Teams will be provided a bed with registration. If you would rather build your own, please contact the United Way office at 283-8923.
Bed Race Competition Race
This race is for speed! Winner gets bragging rights for the next year and special recognition. Teams will use their own strength and provided stock beds to compete in a bracket-style tournament to determine who comes out on top. First and Second place winners will be awarded for speed.
Bed Race Classic Cars
Remember the good old days of the Bed Race? If you can find your car, shine it up, deck it out, and bring it out for the Car Show and Race! Race each other to see if your bed is able to stand the test of time. Winners will be in two categories: fastest bed and judges will award a Best Blast from the Past.
