Get ready for the most explosive and hilarious event of the year—Gardner’s Oktoberfest Chair Luge Race is back for the 16th time! Join us on Saturday, September 27th at 2:00 PM for a downhill spectacle you will remember forever. Whether you’re in it for the fame, the thrill, or the $200 in cash for the race winners, $100 for best costume (all in $1 bills!), this is the ultimate test of creativity, bravery, and just a little bit of insanity. 🏁
Here’s how it works: Find a chair, add at least 3 wheels, add brakes and steering, don a helmet, and get ready to race downhill from Moon Hill Brewing and Gardner Ale House towards Beauregard Liquors. Each luge will be inspected for safety, which means brakes, stearing and helmet. Expect some pretty wild contraptions, outrageous costumes, and maybe a few bumps along the way. Gardner’s best and brightest (they think so anyways) will be competing for glory in this one-of-a-kind, downhill free-for-all.
Event Highlights:
Race Start: 2:00 PM sharp!
Prize: $200 in cash for the race winners, $100 for best costume (all in $1 bills!)
Human Bumpers, a surprise emcee, and all the hilarity you can handle!
RULES:
Teams must have 2 members.
Participants must be 16 or older and sign a liability waiver.
Helmets are mandatory.
Your luge must be homemade with a definable chair (seat & back) and at least 3 wheels.
No motors or go-cart frames allowed.
Brakes and steering must work. You have to be able to stop your luge!
Pushing is only allowed in the “Push Zone” (10 feet). Push beyond that, and you’re last for that race.
Only 1 participant per chair during the race.
Don’t want to race? No problem! Come cheer on the contenders as Gardner does what it does best—play in the street! Bring a camera, enjoy the fun, and let’s make this the best Oktoberfest yet! 🎉
