The Great Northern Concrete Toboggan Race is a competition put on by the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers.
The purpose of the competition is to design a toboggan of which the running surface (whatever touches the snow) must be made of concrete. Each year teams and their toboggans are judged on concrete design, brake design, reinforcement design, toboggan aesthetics, speed, stopping distance, and team spirit.
The competition includes a technical expo where teams display their toboggan and technical paper and, of course, the race. The competition is held at various universities in Canada in the beginning of each year.
