Wolverhampton Krazy Races

1st September 2024, Queen Square

About the Event

On Sunday 1st September 2024 we are bringing back our successful brand of Krazy Races Events to Wolverhampton in partnership with Wolverhampton City Council.  There will be fun, entertainment and "wow, did they really just do that!?" moments.

Come and join thousands of spectators from across Wolverhampton and beyond to cheer on our krazy, wacky and outrageous soapbox downhill racers at our second Wolverhampton Krazy Races. Launching themselves through Wolverhampton city centre past the iconic Beatties building in their carefully hand-crafted karts our racers will tackle our track of over 350m with chicanes, obstacles, water and more. Hopefully they will avoid the traffic lights and stop in time as they zoom through the finish line!

The event is fuelled by our amateur teams who will be entertaining the crowds and competing to be the best dressed, have the best designed and the fastest soapbox karts powered by nothing more than krazy courage, wacky inspiration, gravity and a bit of luck!

Our competitors will work their way through a knockout style competition with only the fastest 10 cars making it through to the final, where they will battle to take home the winner's trophy!

Krazy Testimonials

Massive congratulations on your fabulous event. It was so great to see so many people enjoying themselves. I wanted to share the amazing footfall figures with you from our 2 counters- Footfall on the Sunday of Wolverhampton Krazy Races was up +32.9% on the previous week and was up +20.7% on the same Sunday the previous year.
I have had fantastic figures and feedback from the local businesses from this great event. Hope to see plans for Krazy Races 2023 soon.

The interaction with the crowd was amazing. I could not believe the amount of kids & adults that wanted to sit in the carts and have photos taken which was great.
As a business brand awareness was great in Wolverhampton for all the reasons mentioned above.

Richard Hughes

It was great to see the city centre so alive and the feedback we have had internally has all been really positive too. The positive impact on the City has surpassed all our expectations.

What a brilliant day and expertly organised by the Krazy Races team. There was something for everyone to enjoy from the wonderful event village and all its entertainment, choices of venders to the super races and the marshalling of the main event well done looking forward to the next one.
