The large crowd had plenty of entertainment to enjoy with performances from Snap Dance Studios and Cochrane Sings. There were also local vendors and food trucks on site. 

The final race saw Cochrane Tim Horton's go head-to-head with Cochrane Toyota. It was a close race but Cochrane Toyota took home the championship for the second year in a row. 

All funds raised from this year's event go to the Rocky Mountain Rotary Club, which stay in the community.
