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.
The Manotick Village and Community Association (MVCA) will hold the 10th annual Allan Haan Manotick Soapbox Derby on Sunday 28 August 2022 on Beaverwood Road next to Centennial Park at the Manotick Community Centre. Races run from 9:30 am to 4 pm depending on the number of carts.
This is a fun derby, perhaps not suitable for serious soapbox racing enthusiasts, but anyone 7 or older is welcome to participate. We ask participants for consent to use pictures taken for future Derby promotion.
Participants can build their own carts or we have some sponsored carts for those who cannot make one. Please read the rules and requirements carefully.
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.
Volunteers Needed
These community events are successful thanks to our volunteers. If you can offer some of your time at the Derby or at the Picnic, please contact us.
