The 2024 Duxford Soap Box Derby will be held on Sunday, 1 September, and race entries are now open.

The first children’s race is for children aged 4-7 or 8-11, the second children’s race is for children aged 12-15.

The adults’ race has three categories: aged 16+, elite and veterans (55+). The elite category is for teams that have previously completed the 1.4-mile race route in less than 10 minutes, or predict that they will do so.

All three races will start at the John Barleycorn. Entry costs are: £5 per team for the children’s race, £10 per team for the adults’ race.
