This year's Richards Castle Soap Box Derby has seen a record number of entries.
The event has been cancelled for the last two years because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Organisers have said a total of 38 Soap Boxes will hurtle down the track on Hanway Common this Sunday.
Racers will travel from as far and wide as Plymouth and Hertfordshire as well as some favourite local entries such as the Orleton Primary school red bus, Wallace and Gromit and the Return of the Trotters
The course is 550m long with a descent of 50m, with parts of the course steeper than others meaning participants can expect to reach 30-40mph. Soap boxes will be given the opportunity of at least three runs and will set off singly at intervals, electronically timed.
The event, which raises, up to £15,000 annually, has always supported local charities. This year the three selected charities are Ludlow Ukrainian Refugee Support Group, The Hope Centre in Bromyard, and Ludlow’s Men in Sheds.
The event starts at 10am on Sunday, parking is on site. Payment of £5 per adult on the gate, children under 16 free of charge.
