Tin Bath Races header
The annual World Tin Bath Championship was started in 1971. It takes place in Castletown Harbour with nearly a hundred competitors and thousands of spectators. Being the only race of its kind, the event draws eager tin bath racers into cold harbour waters. As well as bath races, there are also snake races, short entertainment displays, and even a rope drop. A fun afternoon for the whole family, as wacky races hit the Isle of Man.
