Toy Story 2 Team
Charities, businesses and individual teams are challenging themselves to step things up a gear as they prepare to race for the top spot at Wolverhampton Krazy Races.
An influx of new teams have signed up for the event, taking place in the city centre on August 21st, after the huge success of the first 2022 event in Shrewsbury in May and the second in the series over the weekend in Northwich.
The races see themed soapboxes taking timed runs down a ‘krazy’ track, with the fastest 10 karts going through to a final with the quickest kart eventually being crowned the winner.
Organiser Sarah Belcher, of Sarah Belcher Events, said: “The Krazy Races at Shrewsbury and Northwich have been a great success and, as Wolverhampton is so local, many people who came to watch in Shrewsbury in May have chosen to get behind the wheel and race in Wolverhampton next month!
“It’s incredible so many people want to take part and we continue to welcome teams on board. Teams must design their soapbox, as they’re judged on creativity as well as speed, and they must also do a short performance before racing. It isn’t just getting in a kart and zooming down a track – it’s a real extravaganza.
“The deadline for entering a team is looming as teams must have entered by July 31st, but we may well be full before then thanks to so many people wanting to race and raise money for charity.”
Shrewsbury Krazy Races saw participants raising money for many different charities ranging from the British Heart Foundation to the Farming Community Network, and as an event Krazy Races donates to Macmillan Cancer Support which is its charity partner.
Northwich teams raised funds for St Luke’s Hospice, the Northwich Round Table and mental health charity, Just Drop In.
“Not only is the event a brilliant opportunity to raise money for charity, it’s also a great way to network with fellow local businesses and get your name in front of thousands of spectators,” adds Sarah.
“We’d recommend anyone wanting to take part sign up as soon as they can, as they may be disappointed if they wait until the last minute to enter.”
Krazy Races will be taking place in Wolverhampton city centre on August 21st, and is free to the public to watch.
