Folsom Handcar Derby

Watch exciting handcar and quadripede races.

Since 1991, Folsom, El Dorado, and Sacramento Historical Railroad Association has hosted the annual Folsom Handcar Derby on the former Southern Pacific Placerville Branch, where local businesses, groups, and charities compete to get their handcar across the finish line in the fastest time.

The event also features competitions for individual strength and endurance, and it’s the only known event in the world to feature quadripede racing!

The event currently takes place along East Bidwell Street at Broadstone Parkway in front of Broadstone Marketplace.
