The 19th Annual Hopkinsville Soap Box Derby will be on Saturday, May 3, 2025, at Ruff Park, 729 North Drive. The event will be open to all children ages 7 to 20. The registration deadline is April 13, 2024, and the cost is $50.
The day will be fun for the whole family, featuring a double-elimination race to see who will take home this year’s champion trophy. This means that each driver will be racing down the hill at least four times before being done for the day unless there is a disqualification.
The race will get started with driver check-in at 7:30 am, a group picture at 8:00 am, and the first gate drop at 8:30 am.
Groups, organizations, and nonprofits are invited to join us this day and host a kid-friendly activity! We encourage your group to set up a tent and table and for the activity to be race or Kentucky Derby related.
