Norwalk Soap Box Derby

The location is the corner of King and Queen streets inMartinsburg WV.

Traditionally soap box derby racing is a family
affair. Construction of the cars involves entire families, friends, and
neighbors. It gives a quality to family “togetherness”. Everyone has ideas on
how to gather as much speed as possible for race day. Watching the children
entering the cars on race day is as exciting as seeing their exit at the bottom
of the hill while hearing their names being called as the winner. The children
make new friends and learn sportsmanship along the way. 

There is a rich history behind this soap box derby.  Scheduled for the event are vendors and
entertainment for children. This is a wonderful learning experience for all
persons involved. Please come and spend the day with us watching our area
youngsters fly down queen street hill in this time differential, double
elimination race. For further information about the race or to ask about
volunteering to assist us in making this another wonderful event for the
children please contact Trey Knepper at Norwalksbd@gmail.com
We look forward to seeing you!
