Acworth Cup Returns May 10

The fun will take place at Cauble Park during the Smoke on the Lake BBQ Festival.

From the City of Acworth

The City of Acworth is excited to announce the return of the Acworth Cup sponsored by Acworth Community Magazine. This unique event highlights area high schools as they compete in a head-to-head competition throughout five events. 

This year, the fun will take place at Cauble Park on May 10 during the Smoke on the Lake BBQ Festival. Beginning at 12:00, each school, made up of 14 students, will compete in events such as tug-of-war, an obstacle course, a BBQ eating competition, along with a few others that will remain a mystery until that day! 

At the conclusion of the events and after the scores are compiled, the first place team will get to display the Acworth Cup at their school for one year, while the last place team will walk away with the coveted “Broken Oar Trophy.”

High schools that will be participating include North Cobb, Allatoona, North Cobb Christian, Kennesaw Mountain, North Paulding, and Harrison.  Students are encouraged to come out and cheer their schools on!  Parking will not be available at the park so please park downtown and use the provided shuttles.
