Annual Events: KICK THE CAN

Kick the Can kicks off

Holiday Food Drive

Relay teams from workplaces and schools kick cans down a block of Fort Worth’s brick Main Street while costumed supporters cheer. The public is invited, free of charge, to watch the races and cheer on participants. 

Judges and Awards

A court judge and other community leaders judge the relay races while a local radio personality gives a running commentary on the wild, crazy antics of racers and their cheering squads. 

In addition to awards for fastest times, HUMOROUS AWARDS are presented in categories such as Cutest Costume, Mascot Challenge, Most Spirited and Oops!, which is for near accidents as kickers try to keep wayward cans on the street and out of the crowd. 

Mascots

Adding color and fun are costumed mascots from sports teams, corporate sponsors and teams.

Volunteers

The day of Kick the Can, enthusiastic volunteers check in the teams, help participants enter raffles, direct guests to the event's lunch spot, and cheer on the relay racers.
