Noah McClanahan’s favourite part of soapbox racing is how similar it is to a real race.

“What I like about it is it’s like a real race, but for older kids,” said 11-year-old McClanahan from Canora.

“It’s fast,” added Danon Soywchuk, 12, from Saskatoon. “This is my last race I think because I’m going to be too tall.”

McClanahan and Soywchuk were two of the 30 racers who participated in the annual Queen City & District Racing Association’s Soapbox Derby on Sunday along Alder Avenue.
