Ma! Pack up the kids! We're about to take a road trip down to St. Augustine this winter for the redneck Olympics!
"The Florida Man Games" is an athletic contest set for February 2024 where the city of St. Augustine hopes to crown the first-ever official Florida Man!
Organizers of the "Florida Man Games" describe the competition as "the most insane athletic showdown on Earth." The games will poke fun at Florida's reputation for producing strange news stories involving guns, drugs, booze and reptiles — or some combination of the four.
Do you have to be a Florida resident to participate in this? Because it actually sounds like A LOT of fun.
They'll have an "Evading Arrest Obstacle Course" where participants are chased through backyards, over and under fences, and with REAL cops in pursuit for the authentic experience.
I mean, why would the St. Augustine PD waste the opportunity for real-life training?
There's also going to be a hurricane-themed "cash grab" where participants will be put in one of those wind machines that throws money around and try to pocket as much as possible.
That's ALWAYS a crowd-pleaser.
Their website lists all the games to be played at the Florida Man contest. Some of them are truly spectacular.
The people behind this event REALLY know Florida Man.
And, don't worry, OF COURSE, there will be a mullet contest as well!
(And a beer-belly mud wrestling event.)
If you or a friend are Florida Men and want to participate you can register until November 15. But if you want to go see the event you can get in for as low as $45.
Remember, this is an inaugural once-in-a-lifetime event!
