The Bathhouse Soapery team sprints to victory
in the 2019 Running of The Tubs
Downtown Hot Springs, Bathhouse Row, to be exact, will once again be the scene of the comical World Championship Running of the Tubs.
This hilarious and wacky event held Saturday, June 5, is a celebration of Hot Springs’ historic past when the city proclaimed “We Bathe The World!”
Pushing customized bathtubs, costumed teams must race down Historic Downtown Hot Springs’ Central Avenue while navigating all sorts of crazy obstacles. The event is free to the public and consists of costumed teams loading up in authentic wheeled bathtubs for a race through the streets of Hot Springs.
Audiences are also encouraged to come out with “water guns, house slippers, shower cap, and robe, to join in on all the fun while watching the parade along Historic Bathhouse Row! The winners vie for the coveted “Stueart Pennington Cup” which is named in honor of Stueart Pennington, a well-known and respected downtown businessman who always dreamed of such an event but, sadly, passed away before making it a reality. Big thanks to presenting sponsor Bathhouse Soapery & Caldarium! Please contact Bill Solleder at 501-321-2027 bsolleder@hotsprings.org.
