A Humboldt tradition since 1969, the Kinetic Race is no typical parade. In the Kinetic Grand Championship, bodies of art and artist’s bodies are put to the test. There’s more than 30 miles to go over land, sand, water and mud. These intrepid Kinetinauts are a unique breed of human. With a heart full of joy and a bucket full of tools, they face innumerable obstacles for just one reason: The Glory. Founded by artist Hobart Brown, this North Coast tradition has grown from a two block dash down Main St Ferndale to a three day marathon through Humboldt County’s towns, beaches, trails and rivers, every Memorial Day Weekend.
