Races & Revelry

Enjoy a morning of flying discs and four legged competitors! Novice and seasoned competitors are welcome to strut their stuff at the da Vinci Days Canine Frisbee Contest.

The 18th Annual ENTEK International Grand Prix Electrathon is the nation's longest consecutively running Electrathon America-sanctioned event.

Judging and awards are a big part of the fun.  At the Friday night judging, teams run a gauntlet of Art and Engineering judges and end their evening on the Shady Stage, performing their required team song.

Not your typical parade! Watch a colorful cast of characters along this 1.6 mile parade course, including Graand Kinetic Challenge race participants, unicycles, big puppets, jugglers, and local owners of an amazing variety of electric powered cars.

The Lemans start of the road race gives you a close-up view of the racers and their costumed pit crew and entourage. Once the race has started, festival attendees grab their own bikes and follow the course to the sand dune obstacle, at the Benton County Fairgrounds.

Teams traverse 100 feet in thick, sticky mud before entering the Willamette River for the last leg of the race.

Racers enter the river at the Willamette Boat Landing between 12:00 -1:30 pm and exit at 1st & Tyler between 1 - 2:30 pm. Times are fluid.
