After the success of the 2023 event which featured a special Lancaster Bomber flyover, the Totally Krazy Races Soapbox Derby is back
A free-to-attend soapbox derby is set to return to a Greater Manchester town next year after a successful inaugural event. The event will take over the streets of Stockport on Sunday, July 28 2024.
Due to its success in 2023, Krazy Races has been invited back by Headline Supporter Totally Stockport, Stockport’s Business Improvement District Company. The 2024 return will feature the same obstacles including chicanes and water challenges, and will take the same 350-metre route as this year passing through St Peter's Square, down into Mersey square, past the iconic Plaza building and finishing up at Stockport's famous Air Raid Shelters.
"Well known for its climbs and descents, the town centre route provided the perfect location for a thrilling race where 30 local businesses created their own unique soapboxes, minus brakes, braved steep hills and chicanes to race for the chequered flag. The Krazy Races event proved a big hit with the spectators and the teams taking part, attracting big crowds and we’re looking forward to supporting next year’s event.
Krazy Races has become the UK’s largest free to attend soapbox derby event attracting a total of 150,000 people. Since 2018, the popular soapbox derby has raised over £100,000 for local charities including nearly £20,000 for local Stockport and Greater Manchester charities.
