The Red Bull Soapbox Race course will have obstacles, jumps, and turns. While some of these teams may have amazing soapbox cars, not every racer will make it to the finish line with all of the obstacles on the track, and that is just part of the fun.

How to Enter the Red Bull Soapbox Race

There are still open spots for teams to compete in the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Denver. However, if you want to participate, you'd better hurry, because application submissions close on April 12, 2026.

For teams to qualify for the soapbox race, applicants will need to submit a sketch of the homemade soapbox car, which is nonmotorized, has fully functioning brakes and steering, and cannot weigh more than 176 pounds, excluding the driver.
