The 45th annual Great Knaresborough
Bed Race takes the theme ‘Occupations’ for the 2010 event. Entries
are welcomed in January and February. The last date to receive an entry is
28th February 2010.
The Great Knaresborough Bed Race is an annual event made world famous by
its riot of colour and pageantry, the courage and endurance of its teams,
and the glorious eccentricity of its entrants.
A bumper day is keenly
anticipated for the 2010 Bed Race with thousands of spectators turning out
to watch what is expected to be a record entry field of 90 teams. Entry forms are available on this site.
Teams are welcomed to apply from the start of January and February to the
end of the month. If more entries are received than the maximum number of
places a public draw will be held during March. Please watch this website
for further details.
As last year, decorated beds
and teams will gather in designated spots at the Knaresborough Castle
Grounds, where scrutineering will be conducted to ensure all beds and teams
comply with race rules. The
theme of this year’s event is ‘Occupations’. Judging of
the ‘Best Dressed’, ‘Most Entertaining’ and other
categories will be followed by the traditional parade through
Knaresborough’s medieval streets.
Teams will gather for the
race itself in the grounds of Conyngham Hall setting off at timed intervals
for the climb back to the town and down across the High Bridge before
crossing the River Nidd to the finish line.This site features details and
contains opportunity for teams to enter and volunteers to gister to help
with marshalling and running the event.
Knaresborough Lions Club
