Two years later, some of the faculty members started baking cakes for the winners, thus the name Cake Race. In 1935, the Cake Race became a part of Homecoming events in which freshman were required to run. After the Cake Race, the freshman male winner won his cake along with a kiss from the homecoming queen. Today, the course has been shortened to half a mile and freshman are no longer required, but strongly encouraged to take part in the race. The finish line is located on top of Freshman Hill near Bobby Dodd Stadium where all freshmen receive cupcakes at the finish and the winners receive their cakes. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch5\u003EThe Details\u003C\/h5\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERace Day\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nNov. 2 - 6:30 AM\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EStart Area\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n6th \u0026amp; Fowler Street \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow do I sign up! \u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.campuslabs.com\/engage\/submitter\/form\/start\/338342\u0022\u003ESign Up \u0026nbsp; \u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDeadline to sign-up is October 25th! \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch5\u003EQuestions?\u003C\/h5\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EPlease email the event coordinators below with any questions. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIsabel Wickliffe \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nHOCO Reck Club Chair\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:Isabel.Wickliffe@gatech.edu \u0022\u003EIsabel.Wickliffe@gatech.edu \u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBrittany Powell \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFCR Sub-Chair\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:brittanypowell@gatech.edu \u0022\u003Ebrittanypowell@gatech.edu \u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHaley McElroy \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nFCR Sub-Chair\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:haleyrmcelroy@gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ehaleyrmcelroy@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Ch4\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.campuslabs.com\/engage\/submitter\/form\/start\/338342\u0022\u003ERegistration Link\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/h4\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EIn 1911, the first Cake Race was held as an open cross-country run at Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"In 1911, the first Cake Race was held as an open cross-country run at Georgia Tech.
