The Free to attend, National award winning Soapbox Derby, Krazy races who
entertained over 45,000 people this year across the West Midlands and
Cheshire has this week been nominated for an award by the National Outdoor
Events Association.
The National Outdoor Events Association, known in the events industry as NOEA,
was first established in 1979, and for almost 40 years has acted to promote
best practice, consistency and robust business throughout the outdoor events
industry across the whole of the U.K. Every year NOEA recognises and awards
some of the biggest Events from across the country.
It’s not the first time Krazy races has been nominated for one of these
prestigious awards with the popular free to attend event being nominated and
later winning ‘Best New Event’ back in 2019. This year the company has been
nominated in the ‘Best Unsung Hero’ in honour of Krazy Races founder and
Director Sarah Belcher who’s efforts this year has seen over £10,000 being
raised for numerous charities while also creating an event that has massively
increased footfall and driven revenue in all the locations the event has visited
this year post pandemic.
Sarah Belcher, director of Sarah Belcher events LTD who organise Krazy Races;
“Returning to the events industry this year after two years away due to covid
lockdowns has been a real challenge for me and the entire industry.
Coming back, we were as passionate as ever to give local families a great free
day out while raising as much money as possible for charity. Raising the
amounts we have for our local charities and supporting local high streets that
have been hit so hard over the last two years while giving over 45,000 people a
fun, free day out is everything I could wish for and to be nominated for this
award in recognition of that is the cherry on top!”
Alistair Turner, Chair of the Judging Panel and Managing Director, EIGHT PR &
Marketing,
added: “The entries have always grown stronger and stronger, but it really took
a jump this
year and it was a real challenge to create the shortlist. Within it though we
have some
incredible events reflecting the expertise, creativity and inspiration that is on
show across the
industry. It was a pleasure to read them all.”
Krazy Races will be attending the awards ceremony in Bath on Wednesday
23rd November.
