Crewe Krazy Races returns to Brooklands from 10.45am on Sunday 25 May, with 22 local amateur teams taking part.

Sponsored by Crewe Town Council, Krazy Races took Crewe by storm last July, with over 15,000 spectators cheering on the wacky soapbox creations designed, built, and raced by the local teams.

Teams brave enough to take on the Krazy Races challenge will race downhill starting from Ford Lane, making a sharp turn onto Broad Street, and zooming past Brooklands to the finish line just before Badger Avenue.

Within Brooklands, an event village will be created, featuring local food traders, a funfair, crazy golf, axe throwing, and a large screen for families to enjoy picnics, whilst watching the action unfold.

With no event parking, Discover Crewe has partnered with Crewe Krazy Races to provide a free shuttle bus service every 20 minutes from Delamere Street.

The Crewe park and ride will begin operation from 10am, opposite Crewe Bus Station and Multi-Storey Car Park, which will be free to park on for one day only.
