The Great Watermelon Race Hosted by Sunapee Recreation Dept

Take one watermelon, add axels and wheels
(any size) decorate and get ready to race
down Maple Street, across from Pete’s Shed.
Categories and prizes for all ages! Fun to
watch too.
Official Watermelon Race Rules:
RULE #1 Craft your Watermelon Race
Car using a single Watermelon.
RULE #2 Insert two independent axles
through your Watermelon and attach wheels
to the axles. Spice up your racer with style.
RULE #3 You may not attach your
Watermelon onto a pre-fabricated chassis of
any kind (skateboard, stroller, Tonka truck,
etc.) A.K.A. The “Anti-Stealth” Rule.
RULE #4 NO EXPLOSIVES or
PYROTECHNICS.
RULE #5 No pushing or “helping” your
Watermelon Racer on the starting line. Our
Race Officials have seen it all – the last minute
shove, the hidden thumb flick, the early release,
the remote control chassis, etc.
See Rule #6.
RULE #6 NO CHEATING. Feel great about
being honest and fair.
