Walking Tubes team race
Walking Tubes are an It's a Knockout race where each team straddles a 9ft inflatable tube, grips the straps and tries to move together. If one person walks or bounces out of time, the whole tube slows down. The first team across the finish line wins.
The standard hire includes a red and a blue tube for a head-to-head race. We can supply up to four tubes for larger school fun days, Scout events, corporate team building and sports days. The live setup can accommodate up to 32 people across four tubes, but tell us the ages and group size so we can confirm the right team format.
We have supplied Walking Tubes to Quarrydale Secondary School for larger activity days. They also went to Newark Showground for a Nottinghamshire Scouts event in May 2025.
Skyhi Creative hired Walking Tubes with other games for a Squid Games-style party and said: "DB helped us choose what to hire and it was absolutely perfect." Add space hopper racing, the complete sports day package or our 120ft Mega Assault Course for more team heats. Hit the green button to add Walking Tubes to your quote.
