NEWARK, Del. -- The University of Delaware will host the fourth annual Baby Race, presented by the Delaware 529 College Fund, during halftime of the men's basketball game between the Blue Hens and the Elon Phoenix on Saturday, January 18.
The race is open to all babies between 6-12 months old, and babies must be able to crawl. No babies will be allowed to participate if they are able to walk. Two individuals must escort the baby to the floor and are encouraged to bring any toys with them to encourage the baby along the race.
The race will last three (3) minutes and the first baby to cross the finish line will win the race. If no baby has successfully crossed the finish line after three minutes, then the baby who has crawled the furthest will be the winner. All babies must be dressed in soft clothes and athletic shoes or other soft soled shoes. No hard boots can be worn while racing.
Each contestant will be given two (2) tickets to the game, which will be available for pick up at the ticket office's Will Call window on game day, and the winning baby will receive $529 courtesy of Delaware 529 College Fund and a Delaware prize pack!
There will only be 15 babies allowed in the race, so register your baby now by clicking here. Please e-mail BlueHensMarketing@udel.edu with any questions.
