Weekend Activities

Strates Shows of Orlando brings its 80 years of carnival fun to the Rolex 24 Weekend. Experience the Midway atmosphere by taking a spin on the largest Ferris Wheel on the East Coast (150-foot high).

Held during the early hours of the Rolex 24 on Saturday, Jan. 28, the seventh annual Chili Cook-Off will have teams squaring off in the quest for the best Chili. A celebrity judging panel will deliver the final decision and the first-place prize.

Before the clock starts on the Rolex 24, compete in your own race in the seventh annual Daytona 5K Run & Fun Walk, which is scheduled for Jan. 28 – the Saturday morning of the 50th anniversary of the Rolex 24 At Daytona. Runner/walkers will pound the same pavement that the sports cars will use prior to their twice-around-the-clock challenge.
