A bit about the SoapBox Derby

​

Summer is the time for kids and their parents to use their creativity by building a soapbox cart and racing it in the Allan Haan Manotick Soapbox Derby.

​

This is a fun derby, perhaps not suitable for serious soapbox racing enthusiasts, but anyone 7 or older is welcome to participate. 

​

For anyone interested, here is the link for the Rules and Specifications for the carts and the Derby.

​

On August 24

8:00 am Cart Inspections

9:00 am Races Begin​​

​

 

Join in the fun or come cheer the racers on... and then come have lunch with us

​

MVCA's Picnic in the Park begins at 11:30 am on the day of the Derby.  It can be found in Centennial Park which is located beside the Manotick Community Centre at 5572 Dr. Leach Drive.  

​

In the park there will be activities for children and youth, live music and a barbecue lunch.  Please note that the food is available while supplies last.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
