The Madison Avenue Soapbox Derby will return on Oct. 1 and registration has officially been closed with over 90 drivers participating.

Now for the fun part.

The races begin at 1 p.m. Check in is at 10:30 a.m. All riders must bring there helmets. No helmet, no ride, the organizers say. The derby takes place along Madison Avenue in Oakhurst.

The Oakhurst derby raises money for nonprofit organizations. This year, the derby will raise funds for the nonprofit group Reading is Essential for All People (REAP). The derby was founded by the Madison Avenue Community Fund and gives racers an opportunity to race soapbox cars.

The event will offer opportunities to purchase food from local restaurants and face painting for the kids.
