Written by

Derby week culminates on Saturday with the annual running of the Soap Box Derby Championship Race at Derby Downs.

President and CEO of the Soap Box Derby Joe Mazur joined Aaron Coleman to talk about all that's going on down at the Derby and what's kept it going in Akron for the past 79 years.

He says it's been a team effort all the way around with the staff and especially the volunteers.

"There are hundreds of volunteers here in the past week just helping and hundreds of volunteers in the community and from around the country," Mazur said. "There's a lot of passion for our program."

Championship Day starts tomorrow at 8am with racers from all across the country and the world converging on Derby Downs with hopes of capturing a World Championship.
