What do you get when you put wheels on a zucchini? A silly Zucchini Car, that’s what! The popular Zucchini 500 race is back and full of silly fun for all ages.
Thanks for a wonderful race day this past Zucchini 500. Stay tuned for next year!
Car kits and on-site registration will open in July 2026 (date to be announced closer to)!
Prize draws held for all participants. “Winner” receives bragging rights and a turn with the coveted Zucchini 500 Champion Belt! As a silly race, we remind our participants that this is not a competitive race.
Here is a sweet video created for us by Jake Hawley Visuals in 2016.
Races have reached capacity some years, so please register early to guarantee a spot. Thank you to Loyalist Area Scouts, Minotaur Games & Gifts and Kingston Community Credit Union for their support making this event possible!
