Watch
Spectators are able to watch these wacky creations as they hilariously whizz around corners with the hope of staying in one piece by the time they reach the finish line! Cash prizes will be up for grabs for the fastest soap box and the wackiest creation.
Calling all spectators! You will be delighted to know this is a free to watch event and the day is sure to be a great spectacle. The course is just under 350m long and will contain various jumps, crazy bends and hay-bale chicanes, not to mention the wacky outfits and soapboxes on display!
Getting here...
There are many ways to get to the race, be it via car, a brisk walk, bus or even a train if you are coming from further afield with the Official Transport Partner of the Soapbox, Southern Railway. For more information, click 'How to get here' below.
