The Events in detail….

Entry is $2:00 for each event.

Entrants can sign in at Peace Park Olympix Stadium on Saturday the 2nd of May.

  • ” Tug of War” - Competing teams on opposite ends of a good strong new HEMP rope, try to drag their opponents over the centre line for victory.


  • ” Bong Throw & Yell “ - where entrants throw a bong full of stinking bong water as far as humanly possible whilst yelling “Free the Weed” or something similar.


  • “Correct Weight” - You’ve got vegetable matter, a baggie and no scales. Make up an ounce. Closest to the correct weight wins. (1 ounce = 28.3495231 grams) – NEW EVENT


  • ” Joint Rolling “ (Must burn from one end to the other): The six categories follow:

    • 1. Speed Roll – Roll a standard three-paper joint as fast as you can. The three fastest go into the finals. Joints must include a cardboard filter, or will be judged incomplete. If this custom is alien to you, consult a local before the event.
    • 2. Artistic Roll – Roll the most beautiful joint within ten minutes with as many papers as you like. The three best examples enter the finals.
    • 3. Roll in the Dark – Athletes are blindfolded.
    • 4. Adverse Conditions Roll – Dependant on weather conditions on the day and the judges’ creativity.
    • 5. Seed Sorting – You have to get the “seeds” out of the “mull” faster than anyone else. How fast are you? (No joint involved)

  • ” Growers Ironperson Event” - Involves lugging a sack of fertiliser and buckets of water around the simulated planting area obstacle course with a tick and leech infested lantana tunnel. The men’s event is a 40 KG sack while the ladies contend with a 8 KG sack. The top five crawl into the final
    . A disclaimer must be signed to compete in this event.
