Description
WINTERFEST CARDBOARD SLED RACES
This event was postponed from the original scheduled date of February 10th, 2024.
Nature Up North is excited to be bringing back the Cardboard Sled Races for a SIXTH year! Join them for a morning of sledding at the SUNY Canton Sledding Hill on sleds you create yourself from cardboard. Teams or individuals are invited to enter, and each sled must carry one team member. The race will be on Saturday, February 24th with registration from 10:00am - 10:30am.
At 10:30am there will be the "parade of sleds" and sled judging, with the races beginning immediately thereafter. Sleds will be judged overall, for special categories, and by division for the fastest time!
