Save the date of Nov. 1 for the Phoenixville Bed Races!
What are the bed races? It’s an annual fundraiser in which local groups race “beds” on wheels to raise funds for two local nonprofits. Prizes are awarded for Fastest Bed, Best Team Theme, and Most Funds Raised. The day includes the races, kids’ activities, raffles, music, great food, and community! For more details on the race and the organizations involved, click here.
Where and when is this awesomeness? This year the race will take place on Saturday, November 1st. Voting for best bed starts at 11:00 am, races start at 12:00, and the event usually wraps up around 2:00 pm. The race takes place at 3rd Ave, along Reeve’s Park.
How can I participate? Our ICA teams needs 4 pushers, 1-2 alternates, and 1 rider. Pushers must be 15 years or older and riders must be 13 years or older. Anyone under 18 years of age require written permission from a parent/guardian. A few requirements:
- Be available on Saturday, November 1st from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.
- Be an ambassador for the ICA community! This means show up with a positive attitude, have fun and compete hard!
- Try out to be a pusher! Anytime now through Wed Oct 22, find a coach to time you on our 150-meter (out and back) test course in the parking lot. The fastest 4 will be our pushers!
How else can I get involved? Show up on race day wearing your ICA gear and cheer on our team! If you are able, we’d greatly appreciate donations or your help spreading the word and fundraising. [Fundraising page will be linked here once it goes live!]
