Not your average race
Sign up for the Oxenhope Charity Straw Race on Sunday 7th July, a beloved tradition held annually since the 1970s, which donates 75% of funds raised to Sue Ryder.
Teams of two or more dash through Oxenhope village, donning fancy dress and hauling a 20kg bale of straw over 2.5 miles. But this isn't your average race; it's a test of endurance and fun.
As runners navigate the route, they'll make pit stops at five local pubs, downing pints of beer along the way.
Prizes await the fastest and best-dressed racers
Prizes await the fastest teams and best-dressed participants. Originating from a friendly bet between local farmers, the race has raised over £450,000 for local charities, including Sue Ryder.
Last year, tickets sold out swiftly, so don't miss your chance to be part of this exhilarating event and register now, and prepare for a day of unforgettable fun.
See you at the starting line!
