The Art Cart Alpine Rally is a winner-takes-all sledding race.

Now in its second year, this community event invites kids and adults to design and build creatively modified sleds, then race them down the hill for a chance to win prizes.

We are thrilled with the overwhelming amount of registrations from the community! We have chosen our final kid and adult competitors and they have been notified. We are no longer accepting applicants however we’d love for you to mark you calendars for next year and join in the fun.

Please be aware that parking at the Aspen Recreation Center is not available for this event. We suggest either taking the free RFTA bus to the Aspen Recreation Center or parking at either the Tiehack lot or the Aspen High School lot. Security will be on site to direct traffic.

Food trucks will include Slow Groovin’ BBQ and Rolling Fork and hot chocolate will be served by The Dreamery. DJ Mayfly will be dropping hot beats. Fire pits will be on site to keep attendees warm as wintery competition brings a chill to the air. Contestants are judged on speed and design and the winners will be announced at the end of the event.
