RACE Day Teambuilder

Enhancing Teamwork Through Competition

The RACE Day Teambuilder combines the facilitation of a traditional team building exercise with the fun and results-driven motivational benefits of a competitive soapbox derby race.

How It Works:
An exciting and competitive event for smaller groups, the Race Day enhances teamwork through the creation of a Soapbox Derby Racer.  Teams of 2 to 5 participants will compete to build, brand and race their vehicle, producing their creation on time and within budget…

  • Teams must design, ‘purchase’ parts, build, brand, and race their vehicle.
  • Teams may choose to purchase plans or to contract the services of a mechanic, however, this will severely impact their budget.
  • Teams must complete the assembly of their vehicles before the race entry deadline.
  • Teams are responsible for the “branding” of their team and vehicle.
  • Teams should choose the lightest/smallest teammate to drive the racer.
  • Following the race, the financial totals for each team will be calculated, the program will be debriefed, and the overall winners will be announced.

Who It Works For:
The RACE Day Event is a good team building event for teams and groups looking for a highly creative, fast-paced challenge that requires a great deal of teamwork and a little bit of engineering.  Your team’s ability to innovate and create a vehicle that is unique (and drivable!) with limited resources (restricted budget, time, and materials) will make the difference between winning and losing the race!

  • Work departments
  • College organizations and classes
  • Sports teams
  • Leadership development groups
  • Any motivated group who performs well with little supervision

What It Costs:
The RACE Day Teambuilder is designed for groups who seek an innovative and memorable event for  their team-building initiatives.  Unlike most of our team building programs, the RACE Day Event is location and materials specific – which leads to a slightly higher cost than our traditional team building programs.
