7th Annual Big Kahuna Bed Races Coming Soon to Southwest Florida

Sept. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- It’s time to get creative and make your bed for the March of Dimes Big Kahuna Bed Races on Saturday, October 1st at the Cape Coral Bike Night! We’re not talking about straightening the comforter, but actually building a bed to race as we gather together to raise funds for the March of Dimes.

Anyone can participate by creating a team and building a bed. Race beds can measure no less than a standard twin size mattress and no more than a standard queen size mattress. Beds must have 4 functional wheels and be human powered. Teams must consist of one rider, four runners/pushers and one alternate. Pre-made beds are also available for purchase or rent too!

Awards will be given to the first and second place winners in the following divisions: racing, best decorated, most entertaining and people’s choice.

Once again, Team Aubuchon is hosting the Pre Pit Party at Club Square from 5:00 p.m. until 6:25 p.m. The parade will start at 6:15 p.m. with the races immediately following at 7:00 p.m.

Teams include: Coke, NOS, Vitamin Water, Chrome Divas, Anytime Fitness, Hooters, Harley Davidson-Fort Myers and Naples, GFS, Best Buy, Ronin RC and more.
