Freshman Cake Race is a Georgia Tech tradition that began in 1911 as an open cross-country run. In 1935, the Cake Race became a part of Homecoming events in which freshman were required to run. On campus today, the Cake Race is held before sunrise on the morning of the Homecoming game. The course has been shortened to half a mile and freshman are no longer required, but strongly encouraged to take part in the race. All freshmen receive cupcakes at the finish and the winners receive their cakes. During halftime at the Homecoming game, Mr. and Ms. Georgia Tech give a kiss to the Cake Race winners on the field.
