This beloved annual tradition will be Saturday, May 27th, day one of the Kinetic Grand Championship, with contestants promoting themselves on the first day of the Championship and judged while on the course. The talent competition and crowning will happen at Synapsis at 1675 Union in Eureka on day one of the races after the closing of the finish line. We will be doing a “fan favorite” award this year as well, so come ready to cast your votes for your favorite contestant. 

In 1973, "friend of Hobart" and general oddball Barbara Ludwig decided that the Kinetic Race needed a reigning monarch and declared herself "Rutabaga Queen." Since that legendary day, there have been dozens of raucous royals who have made it their duty to follow the cardinal rule of Rutabaga-ing: Have FUN! … almost to the point of obnoxiousness.  To run for Queen, fill out the application at bit.ly/RunForQueen, or visit  kineticgrandchampionship.com/rutabaga-ball for more information. Join our royal family and be a part of the Kinetic Universe!

The Rutabaga Ball was invented by a Queen and organized by the Rutabaga Royal Family, a group of independent performing artists and volunteers. This Kinetic tradition pre-dates Kinetic Universe, the nonprofit organization that produces the Kinetic Grand Championship, by many decades.
