The event that has historically been the ‘kick off to summer on the square’ returns this year.
Supporting the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville and Noblesville Parks & Recreation, the 11th annual event will raise funds to support youth programs that take place during out-of-school times. The Bed Race will also serve as June’s First Friday event for Noblesville Main Street.

“Last year the Bed Race raised over $20,000 to fund scholarships for our youth programs,” BGCN Director of Club Operations Abby Stutesman said. “These scholarships provide positive, engaging activities for local kids and are needed now more than ever. Youth are needing the freedom and social connections that our organizations offer, and families are needing the financial assistance that events like the Bed Race make possible.”
Since its inception, the annual Bed Race has been generously title sponsored by Darlington Snacks. Matteo’s will once again sponsor the event with the Trackside VIP Race Dinner, which will expand this year to provide the ultimate Bed Race experience to more guests with their three-course meal and up-close seating. Other local businesses are invited to sponsor the downtown event and showcase their support to more than 1,000 onlookers over the course of the evening.
“Kicking off summer and putting school to bed has always been our motto,” Stutesman said. “Providing an exhilarating, free of charge, family-friendly atmosphere downtown on the first Friday of summer is our goal. This year’s competition is sure to be just as intense – especially with our new rivalry between the Police and Fire Departments!”
Sponsorship and partnership opportunities to support the event are now available, and teams can reserve their spot in the 11th annual event at BGCNI.org. For information, questions and requests, email Stutesman at astutesman@bgcni.org.
