Get ready, Bradford! Bradford’s streets will once again come alive with speed, creativity, and excitement as the Super Soapbox Challenge returns on Sunday, 4th May. With the countdown now on, organisers are calling for teams to sign up and take part in this thrilling event.

The highly anticipated race has become a staple in the city’s events calendar, drawing thousands of spectators and participants with its high-energy course and imaginative cart designs. This year, as Bradford celebrates its City of Culture, the event promises to be bigger and better than ever.

Sign-ups are now open, and organisers are encouraging teams to take on the challenge. Participants will need to build their own soapbox cart and race it down the giant ramp through the city centre, competing for the fastest lap time. Additional prizes include Most Innovative Cart Design and Best Turned-Out Crew. Previous designs have included hamburgers, a 1920s theme, superheroes and a bat mobile! It's free for spectators and teams looking to take part can sign up now at https://supersoapboxchallenge.co.uk/bradford/
