This past Sunday, the bold, the daring and the bananas braved the slopes of the Bo-Kaap with the wackiest non-motorised rides for the Red Bull Box Cart Race.

57 teams navigated a 594 metre steep road in one of Cape Town’s most iconic and historic neighbourhoods.

In addition to the fun and wild excitement of the race, spectators were treated to a fan park with food trucks, hydration stations, seating areas and tons of entertainment.

‘The Bo-Kaap holds a special place in the history of this city as one of the oldest residential neighbourhoods in Cape Town. With its beautiful, colourful houses, great views of Signal Hill and sloping roads, it is the perfect location for the Red Bull Box Cart Race’, said the Mayoral Committee Member JP Smith.

It looks like fun was had by all!
