The free to attend soapbox derby event will be coming to Crewe on Sunday 14 July 2024 (Krazy Races).

Teams brave enough to take on the challenge, will be starting their downhill descent on Ford Lane, before taking a sharp right hand turn bend onto Broad Street and zooming down past Brooklands.

Up to 20,000 people are expected to be in attendance cheering teams on as they cross the finish line (just before Badger Avenue).

Within Brooklands, organisers will be creating an event village with local food traders, family entertainment and a large event screen for families to sit with picnics and watch the action.

Head of Brand & Strategic Development for Krazy Races, Danny Scoffin, told Nub News: "Living in Crewe myself, I have been asked so many times since launching, where the route will be.

"It's so great to finally be able to announce our route with everyone today after keeping the secret for so long.

"Our challenge is not only to find a great hill for racers but also to find a space big enough to accommodate as many spectators as possible.

"This route really gives us the best of both worlds and will allow us room within our event village to work with and showcase more incredible local businesses, charities and stakeholders."

Crewe Town Council has teamed up with Sarah Belcher Events Limited, the organisers of Krazy Races, to bring this unique event to the town.

A Crewe Town Council spokesperson said: "We are delighted to announce the location of Crewe Krazy Races as Broad Street and Brooklands.

"After carrying out multiple site visits across the town with the team at Krazy Races, it was clear to us that this would be the perfect location for the event with it being only a short walk from the town centre.

Up to 20,000 people are expected to be in attendance cheering teams on as they cross the finish line (just before Badger Avenue) (Krazy Races).

"The event location's close proximity to the town centre gives visitors to the event the opportunity to explore the other fantastic offers in the town.

"This includes Crewe Heritage Centre where visitors can learn all about Crewe's past, grab some food from the Market Hall or even watch a show at the Lyceum Theatre.

Applications for team entries are open but will automatically close once the maximum 40 team threshold is reached.

Teams and spectators are encouraged to raise as much money as possible for charity.
