What are the Bed Race Rules – how does it work?

Timed Heats

The first round of racing will consist of timed heats to “seed” teams.

The remainder of the racing will take place bracket-style (think NCAA Final Four)

During the untimed heats, it is the first part of the BED that crosses the line that will establish the winner.

*Each team will have the opportunity to race at least twice

What is the policy on refunds of registration fees?

There will be no refunds of registration fees. The race will go on rain or shine; however, in the case of extreme inclement weather (lightning, tornados, etc.,) the Race for Rest will be canceled and rescheduled – if in doubt, please refer to our website (www.furniturebankatlanta.org).
