Casket Cat

  • World's Fair Amphitheater 810 Clinch Ave Knoxville, TN, 37902 United States (map)

Each year as Yog-Sothoth demands, a dark covenant will gather beneath the solar temple to herald the lifting of the veil between the living and the dead. When the sun crosses the point of Orion’s Sword (2PM) and the veil is at it’s thinnest, a host of intrepid cyclist will sweep across the city like the locusts of Azathoth completing terrifying challenges that will test the very fiber of their souls.

Bring your ceremonial garbs and be prepared to ride like a headless hessian.

The Casket Cat is an alley cat race. At the start of the race, riders will receive a ‘manifest’ with a list of checkpoints. At each checkpoint you’ll be asked to complete some sort of challenge (don’t worry, it won’t be anything crazy). The first rider to make it back having visited every checkpoint is the winner.

Ride as a team or ride solo.

Costumers encouraged!

No gods (except Yog-Sothoth), no masters, no prizes.
