The concept of kinetic sculpture racing originated in Ferndale, California in 1969 when local sculptor Hobart Brown "improved" the appearance of his son's tricycle by welding on two additional wheels and other embellishments. Seeing this "Pentacycle," fellow artist Jack Mays challenged him to a race. Others later joined in creating a field of twelve machines that inaugurated the first race down Ferndale's Main Street during the town's annual art festival. Neither Brown nor Mays won; instead, the first winner was Bob Brown of Eureka, California whose sculpture was a smoke-emitting Turtle that laid eggs. The race received broad publicity when photos of Congressman Don Clausen riding the Pentacycle were seen nationally.{{cite book|author=Stan Bennett|title=Crazy Contraptions: A Light-hearted Look at Ferndale's Kinetic Sculpture Race|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AihPtwAACAAJ|year=1975|publisher=Low Tide Lumber Company}}

The event was repeated in 1970, and the course subsequently expanded to include cross-country terrain. When affiliated races were initiated in other cities and the course grew, the Ferndale event became the World Championship, and has become the largest single event in Humboldt County.{{cite news | title = Mediocrity Trumps in Oddball Race | url = https://www.wired.com/cars/energy/news/2003/04/58650?currentPage=2 | publisher = Wired | date = 29 April 2003 | access-date = 1 August 2011 }}

During the 1970s, the race adopted its present three-day, cross-country format and became the "Triathlon of the Art World." Machines tackled mud, sand, water, gravel and pavement. Stan Bennett's book Crazy Contraptions chronicles the first five years of the race. In the early 1980s, Brown was referred to as the "Glorious Founder of the Kinetic Race" in a spectators' brochure.{{cite news| last=Mitchell| first=Linda| title=Against the Tide: Hobert Brown fights to preserve his zany race| url=http://www.northcoastjournal.com/052203/artbeat0522.html| access-date=10 May 2014| newspaper=North Coast Journal| date=22 May 2003}}

As the 1980s ended, a mineral water company began sponsoring the race, which adopted a family-friendly approach. Soon after, a local manufacturer of sports racks and car storage boxes became interested in the race. The sponsors' financial support – especially the creation of the Kinetic Lab in Arcata – took the race to a new level of art and engineering. The Lab's {{convert|92|ft|m}} long sculpture Yakima KingFish was the longest ever raced according to its creator.{{Cite web |last=mpayant |date=2015-06-02 |title=The Wild, Crazy Glory of the Strangest Race You’ve Never Heard Of |url=https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/exploration-survival/wild-and-crazy-glory-strangest-race-youve-never-heard/ |access-date=2023-05-19 |website=Outside Online |language=en-US}}

During the 1990s, the race matured. Many contestants were younger than the race, having grown up with its philosophy, "Adults having fun so children will want to grow older," coined by Brown.{{cite news| last=Greenson| first=Thadeus| title=Kinetic Queens take to the ring| url=http://www.times-standard.com/ci_8268917| access-date=10 May 2014| newspaper=Eureka Times-Standard| date=15 February 2008| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140512215035/http://www.times-standard.com/ci_8268917| archive-date=12 May 2014| url-status=dead}} As age and crippling arthritis limited his activities, he sold the race rights, the kinetic chicken logo and the trademark "For the Glory" slogan to a new not-for-profit agency called the Humboldt Kinetic Association in 2002.{{cite news | last =Sims | first =Hank | title =Kinetic konfusion | publisher =North Coast Journal | date =24 May 2007 | url =http://www.northcoastjournal.com/news/2007/05/24/kinetic-konfusion/ | access-date = 12 August 2011}}{{cite news | title =A kinetic save | work =Editorial | publisher =Eureka Times-Standard | date =24 May 2007 | url =http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=ETSB&p_theme=etsb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=1195B2867771A250&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM | access-date = 1 August 2011}}

Changing economics caused the sport rack company to leave the area and the water company to end their sponsorship. With no major sponsor and several years of county budget cutbacks reflecting statewide budget problems, the race experienced difficulties.{{Cite news| last = Ringwald| first = George| title = Kinetic Countdown| newspaper = North Coast Journal| date = 20 May 1999| url = http://www.northcoastjournal.com/052099/cover0520.html| access-date = 5 August 2011}} In early 2007, Humboldt Kinetic Association abjured responsibility for the race. Race volunteers rapidly created Kinetic Universe, a new not-for-profit, to manage the 2007 race. It was at this time that the races title was changed to Kinetic Grand Championship.{{cite web | last =Sims | first =Hank | title =Kinetic Universe Responds To Browns Legal Threat | work =Lost Coast Outpost | publisher =Lost Coast Communications | date =11 May 2011 | url =http://lostcoastoutpost.com/2011/may/11/kinetic-universe-respponds-to-browns-legal-threat | access-date =10 May 2014 }}{{dead link|date=December 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} In 2009, the New Belgium Brewing Company became a sponsor.{{cite web | title =New Belgium – Events > Kinetic Grand Championship | publisher =New Belgium Brewing | url =http://www.newbelgium.com/events/event-detail/11-04-26/kinetic_grand_chamionships.aspx | access-date = 16 May 2013 }} In 2013, the annual Mother's Day Kinetic Klassic children's event moved from Ferndale to Eureka's waterfront Halverson Park.{{cite news | last = Richards | first = Dev | title = Every Mom's Kinetic Dream | publisher = North Coast Journal | date = 9 May 2013 | url =http://www.northcoastjournal.com/AEBlog/archives/2013/05/15/every-moms-kinetic-dream | access-date = 16 May 2013 }}

In 2014, the World Championship race course covered {{convert|42|mi|km}}, crossing a series of sand dunes, Humboldt Bay and the Eel River. The race began on Arcata Plaza with the Saturday noon whistle; the race goes through Eureka and Loleta before reaching the finish line on the third day on Main Street in Ferndale.{{Cite book | last1 = Brown | first1 = Hobart | last2 = Wilson | first2 = John | title = Kinetic Sculpture Racing, A Complete Guide: Founder Hobart Brown Tells All | publisher = Hi Heart Publishing | year = 1990 | isbn = 1-879312-07-7 | url-access = registration | url = https://archive.org/details/kineticsculpturerac00brow }} The race is broadcast live on local radio station KHUM.{{cite web | title = KHUM-FM website | publisher = Lost Coast Communications | url =http://khum.com/ | access-date = 16 May 2013 }}

In 1999, the American Visionary Art Museum (AVAM) in Baltimore worked with Hobart Brown to start the first race in the Eastern United States, and has sponsored the race every year since.{{cite news | title = Kinetic Sculpture Race | url = https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1122216 | publisher = National Public Radio

In contrast to the rural flair of Humboldt County, the Baltimore race spans the city's urban center and is completed in a single day. The {{convert|15|mi|km}} race begins with morning opening ceremonies and the Le Mans Start down Federal Hill to AVAM on the south side of the Inner Harbor, continues past well-known sites including the Maryland Science Center, Harborplace, the USS Constellation, the National Aquarium, and Fells Point, enters the water at Canton, continues with sand and mud challenges at Patterson Park, then through Butchers Hill and downtown to the finish line at AVAM in mid- to late-afternoon. An awards ceremony at AVAM concludes the event.{{Cite news | last = Williams, IV | first = John-John | title = Peculiar contest puts artsy crafts in motion | newspaper = The Baltimore Sun| date = 6 May 2006 | url = https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/baltsun/access/1033505621.html?dids=1033505621:1033505621&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&date=May+7%2C+2006&author=JOHN-John+Williams+IV&pub=The+Sun&desc=Peculiar+contest+puts+artsy+crafts+in+motion+
