The Miami Valley Council Pinewood Derby will take place at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force on April 4th, 2026. This exciting event promises a day of creativity, friendly competition, and community spirit. Participants can showcase their craftsmanship and racing skills on a track surrounded by history and aviation marvels.

Each Pack should send the TOP 2 racers from each den (including AOLs even if they've already crossed over into a Troop at the time of the council race) as well as ONE Best in Show car that will be judged on design only (this car will NOT race).  

Cost is $7 per car.  Please register as a Pack and NOT individuals.

All spectators are welcomed to come view the races.  Admission into the museum is FREE and you're encouraged to take a look around while not racing!

Additional Challenge Coins can be pre-ordered for $5 each. Coins ordered can be picked up at the event, but they will not be available for purchase on-site. There is a limit of 75 additional coins available for pre-order.
