Entering a soapbox derby can be a fun and rewarding experience for several reasons:
Building a soapbox kart requires problem-solving, engineering, and creativity. You get to design and build your own kart from scratch, choosing the materials, shape, and even adding unique features. If you enter as a team, it’s a great way to work collaboratively with colleagues, friends or family.

Successfully completing and racing your soapbox kart can give you a sense of achievement. Whether you win or not, the effort and process of creating something functional and fun is so rewarding. It’s a great opportunity to learn lifelong skills, such as woodworking, engineering, or basic physics (understanding how your kart will perform based on weight, aerodynamics, etc.)

We are hoping our Soapbox Derby event will involve as many local communities as possible, bringing people together to support each other. It’s a chance to meet new people, make new friends, and have fun with your community.
The thrill of racing down a hill and competing for the best time is super exciting and fun.
We hope you will see the benefit and the fun and take part in the first ever Dunstable Town Council Soapbox Derby 2025.
