The United Way Bed Race pits 5-person teams racing beds down Main Street to claim bragging rights for one of Lancaster County’s favorite traditions! United Way of Lancaster County brings the Bed Race and rivalries are as strong as ever. Each team uses 1 "driver" and 4 racers to get their bed under the checkered flag before everyone else.
Beds may be simple, streamlined and strong for the speed division, or they can be decorated as fabulously as your imagination can create for the Fun Prix. Either way we are sure to have a great day of fun!
This year, teams will be saying "Let's Go To The Movies!" and decorating their bed to represent their favorite movie! Teams are encouraged to go ALL OUT representing their Cinematic Selection and everyone will show off in the Parade of the Beds. You can pick any movie you like, from Top Gun to Trolls and go all the way with your decoration, music, and costumes, just remember this is a family event.
Divisions:
- Fun Prix: These beds might look better than they run, and we encourage area businesses, groups, and organizations to be creative in all the things- car décor, music, theme, engineering, and team costumes.
- Competitive: This race is for speed! Winner gets bragging rights for the next year and of course top recognition!
Some racers go for speed, and some racers go for show, but all racers raise money for United Way of Lancaster County. The United Way has been serving Lancaster County for over 65 years and working to improve the Health, Education, and Financial Stability of all residents. Get your team together and start training and creating, or just come enjoy this great community event as we #LiveUnitedLCSC.
