Every year at Georgetown Lake since 1977, people have been participating in the Georgetown Ice Races. It is one of the only lakes within miles that holds this competition, so it draws a very large crowd over the weekend. With multiple courses and events, there is a spot for everyone to race if signed up in time, with no required skill level. It is a great way to enjoy something exciting that many people in Colorado do not get to witness very often.
About four different tracks time how fast each car can make it through the course against one opponent with zero chance of collision, adding more incentive to drive faster. For people who want to add their own car to the mix pay just a small fee and that very day and could be racing right away. Watching the races is completely free, just simply show up anytime and stay out of the way of cars with different races going on at the same time.
Conditions on the lake may vary from year to year but about once a month from February to March there are events every Saturday and Sunday. This is something very unique and special to Georgetown that has been a tradition in the community for years and ties people from all over Colorado together. This event is something that can be shared by everyone and is very inclusive for anyone wanting to try out ice racing this year.
