Bed Races

What has wheels, a mattress, and flies down the street as fast as people can push it? A racing bed! You have to see them to believe them.

The first race is at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 8, but the crowds start to line the street early so they can get a good view of the action.

  • Bed must have mattress and be fully made
  • Bed must have wheels
  • Four pushers maximum
  • One rider mandatory
