RACE TIME
How does it work?
Teams of five (5), four (4) racers and one (1) rider, race a bed on wheels down a 100-yard track. Bed must adhere to guidelines.
Youth (middle and high school age groups) and adult teams (18+) are accepted.
The entry fee for teams is $100.00 to be paid at the time of registration.
Teams choose their own theme to decorate the bed and participants are encouraged to dress along with the chosen bed theme.
Teams advance through a series of heats and some serious fun!
Questions?
To register your team, follow the link and select "Start a Fundraiser"

You can pay the $100 team registration fee right on your fundraising page, just like you are making a donation
We ask that each team member raise an additional $150 each to benefit Family Promise of Gainesville and help end childhood homelessness in our community
Prizes are awarded to teams for fastest bed, best bed construction and design, best overall theme (based on bed and participant costumes), people's choice (based on event day support) and the biggest trophy goes to the highest fundraising team.
