Get ready for one of the most outrageous, laugh-out-loud traditions on Route 66!
The Great Oatman Bed Races are back, and Main Street is about to turn into a high-speed, high-energy raceway—Oatman style.
Teams of five brave (and slightly wild) participants will compete using a specially designed Oatman Bed Race bed. Each team includes four pushers and one “sheet jockey” riding along for the adventure. The goal? Race full speed down Main Street… but that’s only half the challenge!
At the halfway point, teams must slam on the brakes, properly make the bed, pull off a U-turn, and sprint back to the finish line. Precision, speed, teamwork, and a sense of humor are all key—because the fastest time wins!
Whether you’re racing or cheering from the sidelines, this is a can’t-miss spectacle filled with costumes, laughs, and classic Oatman charm.
Best of all, it’s free to watch, making it a perfect day trip for Route 66 travelers, families, and anyone who loves quirky small-town fun.
