19th Annual Raft Race

19th Annual Raft Race - AUK claims 2nd place (Ladies), 3rd Place (Mixed-staff/faculty), 4th Place (Men)

The 19th Annual raft race took place on May 4th at Aqua Park. The competition saw over 20 teams competing in 4 different categories (Ladies welded, Mixed welded, Mens welded, & Wood & Rope). The rafts must be comprised of 10 oil drums and were powered by human power (paddles) only. AUK built its own raft this year (a joint effort of students & staff) as this is only the second year AUK competed.

AUK entered teams in each of the welded categories and brought back trophies for two of the three. Competing against corporate teams such as Al-Sayer (multiple teams), The Sultan Center, Doritos, and Four films AUK did very well.

Thank you to all of the students, faculty & staff who helped build the AUK raft or who either competed or supported our teams.
