Itching to break free from their office and have some fun, Cooler Runnings was born when the Canyon Coolers crew and fellow brands decided to break routine one winter and race some coolers, have a few cold ones, and get out of the office to have a good time!

Today, the event features 32 teams racing in a double elimination bracket for the ultimate glory of "Fastest sled in Arizona."

In advance, teams are given a Canyon Coolers 150qt cooler body to transform into fastest, wackiest, and most imaginative spectacles of speed they have to offer.

It's not just about fun - its about giving back. This event has grown into a fantastic fundraiser for the Flagstaff Family Food Center, a charity that's all about helping folks in need.

• The cost to enter a new or returning team is $1000.Proceeds are donated to Flagstaff Family Food Center to help in their mission of feeding the food insecure within our community.
• Cooler bodies/sleds will be available for an additional $400 for any new teams that need one or old teams that would like a fresh body.

Click the link above to register. Please note that we have a limited number of race spots available, so new teams will be admitted on a first come first serve basis. Reserve as soon as possible to guarantee your spot.

Teams are provided with free admission of their employees, up to 30 tickets.

As a registered race team at the 5th Annual Coolers Runnings, you will be entered amongst 32 teams in a thrilling and fun race to compete for the fastest cooler sled in the state.

Channel your inner 'Michelangelo' and give those coolers a remodel, introduce a new work of art, or give 'er the old ground up re-work for returning teams. Whatever you create, we are looking forward to having you for another fun year out of the office!

Rule #1: Wear a Helmet

Rule #2: ...

Well, we don't actually have any more rules. We're about having a good time and keeping it fun while enjoying an afternoon out of the office with friends and family!

Please do keep safety in mind as you design and build your sled.A 150qt cooler weighs 61lbs out of the box and is certainly capable of some damage. Sleds are very susceptible to forcefully tipping over, rolling, and ramming into objects. Please consider these factors as you create s safe and fun sled for your team. We request that all teams cut off the back wall of their sled to create a bail point and ensure the safety of your team members.

We are looking forward to another year of wacky, sleek, and striking designs as we kick of Cooler Runnings 2025!
