Description

Start saving your cardboard for our upcoming Duct Tape Derby at the Charlene Besse Sledding Hill.

Sound weird? That's because it is! A "duct tape derby" is a competitive event where participants race down a hill on a sled or vehicle they built primarily using cardboard and duct tape, often with creativity in design being a key factor in judging. There will be prizes for best decorated sled, fastest time down the hill, and more. (pending snow) ALL AGES ARE ENCORAGED TO PARTICIPATE!❄️

Sign in is until 11:30am

Ages Groups:

5-17 starts at 12

18+ immediately after



Rules:

  1. Sleds cannot have plastic or metal bottoms, must be cardboard.
  2. No offensive decorations.
  3. No more than 6 participants per sled.
  4. Any race official who deems a box to be unsafe or not to specifications has the authority to disqualify box team in question.
  5. All competitors must wear a helmet while sled is on course. All riders and guardians must fill out liability release form before the race starts.
  6. You must be physically able to push your sled to the top of the hill.
  7. Check in on race day will start at 11:00am and conclude at 11:30 a.m. Make sure you allow plenty of time to park, check in, and get your sled to the top of the hill before your assigned race time.
