Bridlington to host Yorkshire Coast's Super Soapbox Challenge
It's back to wow the crowds once again on Sunday the 11th of September
The Yorkshire Coast's Super Soapbox Challenge is set to return this Summer in Bridlington.
The event will be held on South Marine Drive on Sunday the 11th of September.
It was held on the seafront in Filey last September, entertaining 20,000 people.
The Bridlington event is being made possible by Yorkshire Coast BID and one of its Directors, Martyn Coltman, said: “It’s great to be welcoming the Super Soapbox Challenge back to the Yorkshire Coast for the second year. Given its popularity last year, we can’t wait to be welcoming thousands of people to the Bridlington seafront.
"The event provides a perfect opportunity to not just raise funds for charity, but also bring together your colleagues or group of friends for a day you certainly won’t forget. We’re sure there’ll be a lot of thrills and spills along the way!”
Organisers of the event are looking for adventurous teams of five people to enter a team, build a cart and gather their friends and family to cheer them down the track for The Bridlington BID Super Soapbox Challenge. It could be a group of mates, colleagues from a local business who wish to brand their cart for their company, or a local community group or charity who can race to raise vital funds for their cause.
Either individuals or corporate business teams taking part in the event will be able to race to raise money for their individual chosen charity. No previous soapbox cart experience is necessary.
Andrew Pearson, Event Marketing Director, said: “This is going to be a fantastic, fun-packed day for all the family. Gates are open at 10am and our mystery celebrity will be first down the ramp at 11am. Teams can sign up today at: https://supersoapboxchallenge.co.uk/bridlington/enter/ and everyone can also meet our favourite champion soapbox racer and mascot, Sir Sidney Cartalot.
"Over and above trophies for the top racers, entrants can compete for awards such as “Most Innovative Cart Design”, “Best Turned-out Soapbox crew” and even “Joker of the Day!"
