World Championship Running of the Tubs

Hot Springs sends wheeled bathtubs racing past its historic bathhouses.

Hot Springs celebrates its spa-town identity by sending teams and wheeled bathtubs down Central Avenue. The tubs race past historic Bathhouse Row while costumed crews compete for speed and style.

The free-to-watch event is usually held in June. Check the organizer for the current date, route, and team registration.
