This unique long-standing tradition is open to all first year Georgia Tech students. Each first year receives a cupcake at the end of the race. The male and female winners of the race receive a cake and are brought to the field during halftime of the Homecoming game where they are congratulated by the Ramblin\u2019 Royalty. This race dates back to 1911, when the first Cake Race was held as an open cross-country run at Georgia Tech. Two years later, some of the faculty member\u2019s wives started baking cakes for the winners, thus the name Cake Race was created. While the race\u2019s original purpose was to scout men for the track team, today\u0027s participants are encouraged to run, jog, or walk. First years, sign up today to take part in one of Georgia Tech\u2019s greatest traditions!\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.reckclub.org\/homecoming\/cake-race.php\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.reckclub.org\/homecoming\/cake-race.php\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E","summary":"","format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EThe Freshman Cake Race is a half-mile race held before sunrise on the morning of the Homecoming game every year.\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The Freshman Cake Race is a half-mile race held before sunrise on the morning of the Homecoming game every year."}],"uid":"27469","created_gmt":"2024-10-04 23:41:41","changed_gmt":"2024-10-04 23:44:06","author":"Kristen Bailey","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2024-11-09T06:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2024-11-09T08:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2024-11-09T08:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2024-11-09 11:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2024-11-09 13:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2024-11-09 13:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"location":"Fowler Street","extras":[],"hg_media":{"627005":{"id":"627005","type":"image","title":"Cake Race","body":null,"created":"1570024471","gmt_created":"2019-10-02 13:54:31","changed":"1570024471","gmt_changed":"2019-10-02 13:54:31","alt":"Cake Race","file":{"fid":"238735","name":"1c0f7e3b-9810-4db5-8912-f87b3eb175fe6568d5a3-8b96-4fa6-b990-e0a0bfcdb8f7.jpg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/1c0f7e3b-9810-4db5-8912-f87b3eb175fe6568d5a3-8b96-4fa6-b990-e0a0bfcdb8f7.jpg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/1c0f7e3b-9810-4db5-8912-f87b3eb175fe6568d5a3-8b96-4fa6-b990-e0a0bfcdb8f7.jpg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":495348,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/1c0f7e3b-9810-4db5-8912-f87b3eb175fe6568d5a3-8b96-4fa6-b990-e0a0bfcdb8f7.jpg?itok=mYYdsTkV"}}},"media_ids":["627005"],"related_links":[{"url":"https:\/\/www.reckclub.org\/homecoming\/cake-race.php","title":"More Information"}],"groups":[{"id":"1182","name":"General"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"},{"id":"1793","name":"Sports\/Athletics"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"177814","name":"Postdoc"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:rrccakerace@gmail.com\u0022 title=\u0022mailto:rrccakerace@gmail.com\u0022\u003Errccakerace@gmail.com\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
