Bed Race
It’s time for one of Homecoming’s most exciting, fun-filled, and competitive events, the Homecoming Bed Race. The Bed Race will take place Friday, October 12, at Noon. Registration will begin at 11:00 a.m. The race will take place on Riverside Avenue.
Each Bed Race team consists of five people – four pushing the bed, and one riding on it. Teams will compete against the clock, two teams at a time, on a 100-yard course. There are eight divisions: Fraternity, Sorority, Independent Male, Independent Female, Residence Halls Male, Residence Halls Female, Faculty/Staff, and Alumni. Entry fee is $25 for the first team, and $20 for each additional team.
Plaques are given to the first place team in each division. A trophy is also given to the team with the best costume and overall winner.
Bed Race Rules:
- A five-second penalty will be charged to a team’s time if its bed goes out of the boundaries designated for the race.
- Each team will be paired with another team to compete in the heats. The division will alternate turns. (Competition will be against the clock.)
- The teams with the fastest times in each division will advance to the final competition and race again for the overall title.
- Teams should stay after they race to find out if they race for the overall title. The best times in each division will race again to determine the overall winner.
- NEW in 2012 - enter a faculty/staff or alumni team!
