2012 Bathtub Races!

The Famous Berlin Bathtub Races take place during Berlin 2nd Friday Art Stroll in July.

Since 1992, local businesses have turned ordinary bathtubs into rolling works of art. The friendly, yet competitive race is open to anyone who wants to compete. Businesses are strongly encouraged to participate - it is an excellent way to advertise while having fun at the same time!

Rules:

• Wheels may be no larger than 26 inches
• Bathtub must have brakes and steering
• There must be at least one rider (helmet required)
• No more than one person can push (closed toe shoes required)
• Bathtub must hold a minimum of 2 gallons of water
• There is no limit to the number of wheels
• Businesses may advertise on the sides of their bathtub
• Tub must be under control of a pusher at all times and may not be released until tub has come to a complete stop

Besides the illustrious "Winner Takes All" trophy and year-long bragging rights, first place will take home a free banner ad on the Chamber's Website ($400 value).

So pick out your Pit Crew, Driver and Pusher and start building!

There is a $50.00 entry fee per tub for Berlin Chamber members and $75 for non members, payable via cash, credit card or check to the Berlin, Maryland Chamber of Commerce. 

HEAT SPONSORSHIPS AVAILABLE! $100 to sponsor a heat. Have you business mentioned before and during the race as well as in various press releases.

For more information, please contact the Chamber Office at (410) 641-4775. Make sure to check back frequently for up to date information regarding the event.
