Each year the race between the teams has become keener with wheelbarrows being modified to reach the ultimate in streamlining and ease of handling.  Although compliance with the race rules demands that basic wheelbarrow specifications must be followed, this doesn’t hamper the creative imagination of those who create masterpieces of mechanical ingenuity each year.

Much of the race is held in darkness and strict regulations are imposed by the Police.  Each wheelbarrow must have headlights and red tail lights which are easily visible.  All the regular rules of the road must be strictly adhered to.
