Save the date: The Great Grove Bed Race returns on September 5

After last year’s overwhelming success, the Great Grove Bed Race is once again slated for Labor Day weekend on Sunday, September 5. A pre-event Pajama Crawl will kick off the event on Saturday night, followed by breakfast and brunch specials throughout Coconut Grove and a family pajama party on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Various other activities such as a Sleep Village Center and the Pole Position Pre-Party will take place before the Bed Race gets under way at 1 p.m.

The race involves five-member teams rolling self-constructed beds down a one-eighth-mile track on the streets of Coconut Grove. The fastest eight beds will go head-to-head for the top position. Prizes also will be awarded for theme and decor.

Online registration is $75 per team. The event is free and open to the community and benefits the UHealth Sleep Medicine Program and Alonzo Mourning Charities. To register or for more information, please visit www.thegreatgrovebedrace.com.
