Competitors at an earlier event in Roman costume
THE ANNUAL Oxenhope straw race takes place on Sunday. Since the event began, by two men who made a bet about racing from one pub to the next carrying a straw bale, more than £300,000 has been raised for charity.
Fundraisers collect sponsorship for completing the course, often in fancy dress, while carrying a bale of straw and visiting each of the local pubs in the village. For more information visit strawrace.co.uk
