Trick Race was created by Stratovarius with his map "Stratospecial" in 2001. At the time it was merely a special Rope Race map, but the concept evolved in to a scheme of its own.

A notable Trick Race contributor is Fluffy, whose classic trilogy of maps - Fluffy Trick Race (2009), FluffyTrickRace2 (2010) and FluffyTrickRace3 (2010) - is probably the most known and most played in WormNET, thanks to the replay files which Fluffy created to demonstrate how to do the tricks.

Trick Race has often featured in competitive events, appearing in the Worm Olympics for the years 2011 and 2012, and appearing consistently in cups on The Ultimate Site from 2015 to 2020.
