Indiana State Tricycle Derby
The Indiana State Tricycle Derby was first run in 1963 as a 10-lap race around the sidewalks of the Quadrangle on children¹s tricycles. The races featured a men¹s and women¹s division (the Powder Puff Derby). The races now feature men¹s and women¹s teams racing on specially built tricycles at Recreation East and the Michael Simmons Student Activity Center at Ninth and Sycamore streets the Friday afternoon before Homecoming.
Each team qualifies for the race prior to the actual Sycamore
Tricycle Derby. The fastest male and female rider qualifying for the
race is honored with the title of “Hot Wheels”. For a brief history,
