The Soap Box Derby returns

IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. (WHEC) – The Greater Rochester Soap Box Derby took place on Saturday on Lake Shore Blvd. near Durand Eastman Park in Irondequoit.

The cars the kids built were not powered, relying solely on gravity to get them down the track. The winners will get the opportunity to compete in the Soap Box Derby World Championship in Akron, Ohio in July.

What a hoot competing in the #soapboxderby2022 at Durand Eastman Park. Great to be a kid again and compete against our law enforcement partners in good fun! @RochesterNYPD https://t.co/85PW4eW1wd pic.twitter.com/EcUCZZ77kQ
