Hay Bale Race Information:


Where: Crawford Town Park Grass (East end of the Park).


When: 12:00 noon, Saturday June 8th, 2024.


What: This is a timed race between two contestants at a time. Each contestant will have a stack of 3 bales of hay. At

            the starting sound contestants will pick up their first bale of hay, run with it approximately 50 feet and start

            a new stack. They will then return to the starting line, pick up the next bale, take it to the end, and continue

            until they have a completed stack at the finish line. Each heat will be timed.


Rules: No hay hooks or cleats are allowed. Gloves are okay. Contestants cannot drop any bales (if you trip and fall

           you can get back up and keep going) and finished stack must remain standing.


There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner in each of the two divisions (Tweens/Teens & Adults)

1st Place will be awarded $125, 2nd Place $75, and 3rd Place $50
