The Capital District Soap Box Derby race is open to all Boys and Girls ages 8 to 18. The winners of the local Capital District Soap Box Derby will win a trip to Akron, Ohio ($500 - $1,000 allowance) to compete in the World Championship in July. The local race will be on Madison Avenue in Albany, New York in early June.

All racing cars are purchased as kits which range from $700 to $800. Pre-owned cars may also be available by contacting the Race Director.
