Camraderie, competition and community are the driving forces behind this volunteer-led event that's been happening on the slopes of Mt Tabor for the past 22 years.

A visit to Mt Tabor is never a bad idea and although the Derby brings more people to the park than you might hope to encounter, the ingenuity and hilarity of the race is worth the crowd hassles.

Pro tips for attending:

Take public transportation (parking is tight). 

Bring snacks (there are concessions...and crowds)

Respect the raceway- those soapboxes get moving!
