Kinetic sculpture races are organized contests of human-powered amphibious all-terrain works of art. The original cross country event, the World Championship Great Arcata To Ferndale Cross Country Kinetic Sculpture Race, now known as the Kinetic Grand Championship in Humboldt County, California, is also called the "Triathlon of the Art World" because art and engineering are combined with physical endurance during a three day cross country race that includes sand, mud, pavement, a bay crossing, a river crossing and major hills. ==Race locations== Kinetic sculpture races are held in many locations: *Humboldt County, California hosts the annual World Grand Championship each May over Memorial Day weekend.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://kineticgrandchampionship.com/about_the_race.php )〕 It spans over 3 days.〔 *Baltimore, Maryland - the East Coast Championship sponsored by the American Visionary Art Museum covers through downtown Baltimore and the harbor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.kineticbaltimore.com/ )〕 *Port Townsend, Washington〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.ptkineticrace.org/ )〕 *Corvallis, Oregon - as part of Da Vinci Days festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.davincidays.org/ )〕 *Ventura, California - benefits the Turning Point Foundation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.kineticrace.com/ )〕 *Klamath Falls, Oregon〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.klamathkinetic.org/ )〕 *Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hosts a kinetic sculpture derby as part of the Trenton Avenue arts festival in the neighborhood of Kensington, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://kinetickensington.com )〕 There are other kinetic challenges, derbies and so on which follow some of the rules and traditions of kinetic sculpture racing, but are not an official part of it.〔 Races were formerly held in Poland, Geraldton, Western Australia,Clearlake, California〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.lakeviewproperties.net/Local_Events/page_2027559.html )〕 and Prescott Valley, Arizona 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「kinetic sculpture race」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
