Island Rec is very excited to announce the third running of the now famous Hill of Thrills Soap Box Race on Sunday, May 20th.
This is a classic old-fashioned ‘gravity’ race where people run their homemade non-motorized contraptions down Grover Street by the elementary school. The racing categories are ages 5-8, 9-12, 13-15, 16-adult. There are as many adult contestants as youth!
This popular event is quickly becoming a local classic not to be missed. Races go from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Race packets and applications can be found online or at the Island Rec office, 580 Guard St. Monday – Friday 11:00-5:00 pm, (360) 378-4953.
