The Red Bull Soapbox Race takes over North Avenue on Saturday, Oct. 24, with experienced racers and amateurs alike designing and building their own human-powered soapbox race crafts. The race will get underway at noon and portions of North Avenue between Boulevard and The Masquerade will be closed to traffic.

Teams were chosen based on creativity, technical feasibility of the craft build, craft safety and originality. It’s free to attend and watch the racers come down the big hill.
