Crewe Town Council has confirmed Krazy Races will return to the town on Sunday 24 May 2026, following record crowds and more than 20 team entries at 2025's soapbox derby.

The free-to-attend event, which sees teams design and race handmade soapbox karts, has quickly become one of Crewe's most popular days out.

Applications are now open for teams, sponsors, and charities to take part next year.

Brooklands will again be transformed into an event village with food stalls, family entertainment, and a giant screen showing live race action (Peter Robinson).

Organisers are seeking between 20 and 40 teams from local businesses, schools, colleges, charities, and community groups. Previous entrants have included Crewe Lyceum Theatre, AO, and Crewe Heritage Centre.

Charities remain central to the event, with local organisations now able to apply to become headline partners and use the day to raise funds and showcase their work.

The course will once again run from Ford Lane, round the Broad Street bend, through Brooklands and across the finish line before Badger Avenue.

Organisers say the 2026 track will include new features to build on this year's additions, which included an "up-and-over" ramp, smoke effects, and other surprises.
