Krazy Races returns to Shrewsbury for 5 year anniversary
To be released ASAP
Krazy Races has become the U.K’s largest soapbox derby event. The event has travelled to locations across the country, welcoming over 150,000 people, raising over £100,000 for charity and seeing over 250 teams racing their handmade soapboxes. Krazy races have also won the coveted ‘best new event in the UK’ award in addition to being nominated for numerous others.
Now, the Shrewsbury based business, created and managed by Sarah Belcher Events, have decided to return to Shrewsbury Quarry, to mark the company's 5th anniversary.
Shrewsbury Krazy Races will take place on Sunday 26th May 2024 at Shrewsbury Quarry with the event promising to be bigger and better than ever before with a stage hosting live music and entertainment.
The event route will be made up of chicanes, obstacles and more with racers expected to be cheered on by thousands of locals.
As well as fantastic races, Krazy Races will be working with local sponsors and businesses to bring together local entertainers, food stalls, cars and more to give families a fantastic day to remember. The event will also host its first ever after party from 5pm for just £5pp to add a festival feel, finally.
Sarah Belcher, Founder of Krazy Races said:
“We are beyond excited to be returning to Shrewsbury to celebrate where it all started 5 years ago. We have travelled to amazing locations across the country and worked with some fantastic teams but there is something really special about putting an event on in your home-town. We have been inundated with both previous teams and spectators asking us to return so we are over the moon to finally be able to say we are back! ”
“The event will be a real ‘feel good’ celebration, filled with surprises and fun. We are challenging our teams to be the best we have ever seen which will not be an easy task.”
Applications for teams to enter have opened today with event organisers looking for between 20-40 teams to enter the race in a knockout style competition with multiple trophies.
Teams and spectators are encouraged to raise as much money as possible for charity and later this year the event will announce its official Shrewsbury Krazy Races headline charity.
Krazy Races has raised over £100,000 since 2018 for a variety of causes and the team hope to raise much more in 2024. The team are working closely to find a suitable local charity to support the event.
