🎉 Event Overview

The Great Potato Race is a family-friendly, laugh-filled event where participants tackle a one-mile(ish) loop filled with potato-themed obstacles. The fun begins and ends with a 25-yard potato sack race, challenging runners to hop their way to victory.

🏃‍♂️ Exciting Obstacles

• Foil Wrap: Race to wrap your arms in foil like a baked potato.
• Potato Dodge: Dodge your way from Point A to Point B without getting hit by a flying foam potato. Get hit, return to Point A and try again.
• Spud on a Spoon: Grab a spoon and a spud and race from Point A to Point B. Drop your potato and suffer the consequences (return to Point A and try again)!
• Tater Tot Hop: Leap from one “tater tot” (tire) to the next! This obstacle plays just like The Floor is Lava. Touch the grass between a tire and suffer the consequences (return to Point A and try again)!
• Get Baked! Run through the "oven" (an inflatable tunnel), and you're just a hop, skip and a jump away from the final leg (25 yard potato sack sprint) of the race!

🎈 Post-Race Festivities

After the race, stick around for the Potato Days festivities!

• Food: Head over to the Potato Kitchen and grab a loaded baked potato, fries, tots, or chips along with an ice cold beverage (beer, seltzer, or soda).
• Vendors: Check out the Trading Post with over 50 vendors boasting local goods and goodies.
• Photo Ops: Snag a pic in front of the Big Idaho Potato Truck.
• Bubbles: Grab a bubble wand and blow bubbles right from a horse trough!
