1 Lowell Kinetic Sculpture Race Sponsorship Information

2 About the Race What is a Kinetic Sculpture and Race? Kinetic Sculptures are all-terrain human-powered art sculptures engineered to race over road, water, mud and sand. Kinetic sculptures are amazing works of art; many are animated with moving parts like blinking eyes, opening mouths, heads that move side to side and up and down. These machines of art are usually made from what some people consider junk or better put, recycled materials. Each kinetic team has a theme and consist of pilots, pit crew and support crew. Kinetic pilots pedal the sculpture and steer, the pit crew assists the pilots in transforming the vehicle for the various elements and fixing mechanical issues, and support crew, well, they do whatever is needed for the team to get glory. Spectators are encouraged to either watch from the sidelines or follow the race on their bikes (obeying all traffic laws that apply). Seeing these marvels of art and engineering turns many people on to bike culture, reminds them of how much fun riding your bike can be and also the wealth of recycled materials that is all around us. The Lowell race will be approximately a 10 mile course with several miles of paved roads, an obstacle course, cobblestone streets, and a section of water in which the vehicles will be floating and navigating to the next section of the race.
