What is the Perran Bale Race?
The format is a bale push. Teams of four take on a hay bale and push it along the beach, a test of power and endurance with the whole crew working together. Heats are timed, and the quickest go through to a head to head final.
It is open to all, with three categories to enter: Youth (14 to 18), Womens, and Open.
How to enter
Entry costs £20 per team, four people to a crew. You can register in advance or sign up on the day from 5:30pm. Races start at 6:30pm.
BBQ, cakes and a good cause
There will be a BBQ and cakes on the beach to go with the races, plus, the club hopes, some sunshine.
Every entry goes towards Perranporth Surf Life Saving Club, which runs as a registered charity (No. 1041075).
