Register for Human League's soap box derby

The Human League Association opens registrations for its soap box derby March 15.

The event, set to take place June 20 on Regional Road 80 in Hanmer, is open to youth up to the age of 18 of all skill levels.

It has been sanctioned by the Canadian Soapbox Derby Racers Association, and will count as a qualifier for racers looking to attend Nationals and beyond.

There's several categories, including the “Super Racers” category. Super Racers compete in a custom soapbox built for two people – one pilot, and one special-needs co-pilot.

“Derby racing is a family sport, a sport where the parent and child enjoy a day together in a sporting event,” a press release said.

“The sport reenforces self confidence in the child, promotes sportsmanship and above all soap box derby offers the opportunity for all children to participate in a sport regardless of gender, race, athletic skills or even economic status.”
