Fayetteville Freedom 250 Soap Box Derby
Start your engines (gravity powered, of course)! We’re thrilled to bring back the Fayetteville Soapbox Derby as part of this year’s celebration of 250 years of America. The Fayetteville Freedom 250 Soapbox Derby invites racers of all ages to build their own gravity-powered cars and race down the hill in this classic, family-friendly competition.
Participants will construct their own racers, though a limited number of loaner cars may be available to rent for $10.
