Ye Grade Olde Chariot Race is the oldest tradition of [[Godiva Week]], dating back over 100 years. This illustrious race pits every [[discipline]] (and the F!rosh) against each other in a full-contact race through the snow (or mud) of Front Campus. The Chariot Race included entries from other Faculties and Colleges decades ago when it was a campus-wide event.

The winner of the Chariot Race is decided by a committee of three judges - a [[Blue & Gold Chair]], the highest bidder for the Judge position at the [[Charity Stores Auction]] during Godiva Week, and the champion of [[Godiva's Quest]]. The judges have been known to take 'bribes' of BEvERages in the process of choosing a winner.
