WHAT A NIGHT!
Introducing the return of SportsShoes Podium Underground , the most unique event of its kind in the UK. A night of fast and furious racing on an indoor go-kart track (3000m), making it one of the most innovative spectacles in athletic history.

Gavin Bannister, Brand Manager and Event Producer, said; " Last Friday we hosted the second edition of Podium Underground and it did not disappoint! 5 laps of quality racing, with heats, semi's and a final, with huge cash prizes for the winners. Pumping music, deafening crowds, amazing presenters and some seriously fast feet.... Podium Events continue to rewrite the rule book on racing. See you again in September"

All of our SportShoes Podium events are graded, creating fast races with similar standard competition and providing the best possible chance of achieving a personal best.
Racing for us is not about making profit so we make Podium Events affordable to enter. We will always give as much as possible back to the athletes in prizes.
At Podium Underground, we committed to providing £5000 in prize money - yes, you read that correctly - £5000!!!
We hope you can join us again soon for more explosive action, as we aim to support and showcase the very best athletic talent in the UK.
