Running three race programs each year, Crow's Nest has to have worm racing covered. Called "Australia's down-to-earth sport", worm racing has got a wriggle on in the picturesque town just north of Toowoomba.
During the Crow's Nest Community Festival, worm races are held at the Lions Club function, at the breakfast in the park, and of course at the annual Crow's Nest Day.
YOU are invited to race a worm on Crow's Nest Day. Either bring your own, or we have specially bred and trained racing worms for you to use.
FREE ENTRY
As many people you talk to after the worm races will not believe that you raced a worm, certificates are awarded to all participants.
Look out for the Best Baits worm racing form guide for the Perseverance Cup, run over an 18 inch circular course. Worms are auctioned for this event - they have sold for up to $500. The race is held on a Calcutta style - so the more money the worms get sold for, the more the prize pool.
