District Derby:

The Top 5 Racers (or their alternates) from each Bull Run District Pack, as determined by the Pack, are invited to compete in the 2019 Bull Run District Pinewood Derby.  The scout must be present to race.  Active Bull Run District Cub Scouts only may compete in the Bull Run Cup races– Webelos II’s who have crossed over in 2019 to Boy Scouts, however, are eligible to race.

Bull Run Cup:

The Bull Run Cup is awarded annually to the Cub Scout Pack with the fastest average time in the Bull Run Cup Race. The winning Pack will keep the Bull Run District Cup until the following year’s Bull Run District Pinewood Derby where they will have a chance to defend it or relinquish it the new winner. The cup is awarded to the Bull Run District Pack with the fastest average time in the Bull Run District Cub Scout Race. A Pack’s average time is calculated by combining times from all 5 of the Pack’s entries in the Cub Race and dividing by 5.  Active Bull Run District Scouts only may race in the Bull Run Cup races.

A Pack must have 5 cars entered in the Bull Run Cup Race to be eligible for consideration in winning the Cup for the year.  Individual Awards will be given for the fastest three Cub Scout cars in each age group - Tigers, Bears, Wolves, Webelos I's, and Webelos II's.  These will be awarded based on the fastest average times within those groups. 

Open Class:

All other Bull Run District Cub Scouts, Lions through Webelos who are Cub Scouts as of January 31, 2019 are invited to race in the Open Class race.  Parents, siblings, other family members and Scout leaders may also compete in the Open Class race.
