DIAPER
DERBY

The fastest babies in Mon County start at one end of our "Racetrack" and crawl to the finish line, with Blue Ribbons on the line. ​Parents can use keys, toys or other items to attract their crawler, but may not reach over the finish line to grab them.
​And if your baby takes his or her first steps, it’s a mixed blessing.
​What a milestone! But in this race, only crawling is allowed.

  • Registration for the Derby begins at Noon at the Hazel Ruby Building on Saturday, August 5, 2023.
  • Derby begins at 1:00 p.m.
  • Only two adults may accompany the baby at the “Racetrack.” At no time can the parent or guardian enter the boundaries of the “Racetrack.” Parents may use a bottle or toy to coax the child to crawl to them but may not step between the starting line and the finish line during the Derby.
  • Babies will crawl the length of the “Racetrack” which will be 10’ x 10’. Should there not be a winner at the end of three minutes, the baby closest to the finish line will be declared the winner.
