The Cheese Rolling Championships are back.
Paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a bunch of people went to Gloucestershire to running down a hill after a giant wheel of cheese, and because it was wet and rainy, things got muddy as people ran and rolled to get down the hill as fast as possible.
The prize? The wheel of cheese.
The videos and photos of this thing are just the best, so we’ve collected them below, starting with some videos. Scroll down to see the epic photos from the event, which captures all the chaos and pain that comes with it.
Decided to get in some downhill running tips ready for Race to the Tower by watching the infamous Gloucester Cheese Rolling. Quite possibly my favourite ever sport I’ve been to see!
