Grab Your Family, Friends, and Racing Flags – We will see you at the 4th Annual Kendall Auto Soapbox Derby, September 6th at River’s Edge Golf Course!
Race time is almost here; we can’t wait to see you at the 4th Annual Kendall Auto Soapbox Derby on September 6th at River’s Edge Golf Course! We are thrilled for this year’s event, with 19 teams registered and an unforgettable day to come. Voting starts at 2:00pm, followed by racing at 3:00pm. Be sure to invite your friends and family to vote for your favorite cars, as your support impacts their overall scores! Get ready to see jumps and water features like never before, while enjoying the beautiful venue, food, and beverages River’s Edge has to offer. Kendall Cares will be donating $10,000 in prize money, split between the top three teams and their chosen nonprofits. Make sure you stay until the end to see what nonprofits will be earning some of the prize donations and get ready for the first ever long jump competition!
The Kendall Auto Soapbox Derby is a motorless car race; the cars only accelerate with the help of gravity. The slope of the hill helps propel the cars around corners and obstacles without using an engine or motor. All soapbox cars are built by teams, and each must have functional brakes and steering. We recommend equipping your build with suspension to withstand the jumps & obstacles! Teams will be scored on three categories: the design and creativity of your car, voted on by the spectators, a performance by the team before you hit the racecourse, scored by our judges, and how fast you make it down the hill!
We are so excited to see the builds & meet the teams this year and would like to extend the opportunity for our local business partners to get in on the fun. The Soapbox Derby was designed to give back to our community through an unforgettable experience, and sponsorships were designed to give even more. Through this event, we all have the opportunity to support the organizations that make Central Oregon, Central Oregon.
We will see you on Saturday, September 6th, at Rivers Edge Golf Course! To learn more about the event and teams participating this year, please visit https://www.kendallgivesback.com/oregon/bend/2025-kendall-soapbox-derby/
