Welcome to the
Sheyenne Valley Soap Box Derby

Welcome to the Sheyenne Valley Soap Box Derby!

Since its early days, the Sheyenne Valley Soap Box Derby has brought together racers, families, and fans for a celebration of creativity, craftsmanship, and community spirit. Inspired by the national Soap Box Derby movement that began in the 1930s, our local event has grown into a beloved annual tradition—where kids build, race, and learn the value of teamwork and perseverance. Race day 2026 marks our 30th year of racing!

On this site, you’ll find everything you need to get involved—from how to become a racer to event schedules, volunteer opportunities, and highlights from past races. Whether you’re here to cheer from the sidelines or take the wheel yourself, you’re part of something special.

Let’s keep the momentum rolling—see you at the starting line!
