Zucchini races return to Bainbridge Island Farmers Market

These racers will surely squash the competition.

The always anticipated annual zucchini races will return to the Bainbridge Island Farmers Market on Saturday, Sept. 23.

It’s a competition where every racer is top-seeded. Open to public, business and group entries, this farm-to-finish line battle sees contestants modify and customize zucchinis of all sizes and launch them down a small race track in search of glory.

“Vehicle” check-in begins at 10 and goes to 11 a.m. Voting for the People’s Choice Award will last from 11 to 11:45 a.m., and the races will begin promptly at noon.

The Bainbridge Island Farmers Market is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday, and is held in Town Square, outside city hall.
