North Coast Conversations: Kinetic Grand Championship 2025

Memorial Day weekend is just around the corner, and in Humboldt County that means it is almost time for the Kinetic Grand Championship – a three day celebration and race of human-powered sculptures, spanning from Arcata to Ferndale and testing racers through sand, mud, water and more!

This week we met with Aaron Weshnak, better known in the Kinetics Universe as Aadvark the Clown, volunteer director for the race to learn more about the work that goes into making Kinetics happen and how you can get involved.

The Kinetic Grand Championship will take place on Saturday, May 24 through Monday, May 26. You can find more information or volunteer at Kineticgrandchampionship.org.

FOR THE GLORY!
