Get ready for race time – it’s going to be Krazy!

Racing a homemade cart down the cobbled streets of Lincoln may seem crazy, but that’s the whole point of a new, fun-filled event for the city.

Krazy Races is the soapbox derby that will be coming to Lincoln on Sunday, September 15 and 37 local teams are raring to take part and raise money for charity – Lincoln Fire Station South’s soapbox is pictured.

The route will be down Flaxengate past Lincoln Museum with the city’s cathedral providing the backdrop for spectators on the route.

Lincoln Business Improvement Group teamed up with Sarah Belcher Events Limited to bring the event to the city after seeing how it has caught the public’s imagination in other areas.

“We are looking forward to welcoming Krazy Races and working with the team to bring this new and exciting event to Lincoln,” said Lincoln BIG’s Head of Operations Lee Roberts.

“We can’t wait to see the races take place and encourage businesses to enter and enjoy the day. We look forward to seeing everyone enjoy the build-up and the day as the city comes alive as the soapboxes race through the streets of the city.
