Bathtub races back at SPSU

Nine teams of students will compete in bathtub races on April 2 at Southern Polytechnic State University.

The tradition was revived last year after a 20-year absence due to liability concerns and campus expansion. This year the races will feature non-motorized bathtubs, and will be organized by students.

Time trials begin at 10 a.m. and races begin at noon. The starting line will be on North Hornet Dr., and the course ends at the intersection with Polytechnic Lane.
