The Oxenhope Straw Race sees teams carry straw bales from pub to pub, downing a pint at each stop.
Hundreds of people have turned out for an annual event which sees teams carry bales of straw through a village.
The 43rd Oxenhope Straw Race saw competitors, many of whom were in fancy dress, carry the straw through the West Yorkshire village and stopping off along the way for a pint or two. The 2.5 mile race started in the mid-1970s when two farmers made a bet about racing between pubs with a bale.The event, which was being held for the 43rd time, was raising money for local charitesDespite the pints, some the competitors felt a little blue
The rules state that all those involved must visit five pubs - the Waggon and Horses, The Bay Horse, the former "Idiot Hut" social club, The Lamb and the former Shoulder of Mutton - and down a pint in each, before making an uphill push to the finish at the Dog and Gun.Tom Stoddart, who helps to organise the race, said it was a "brilliant day out" that raised "lots of money" for charity.
Among the charities to benefit from the event were the Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and Haworth Riding for the Disabled.
