On May 26th, the traditional Cheese Race was held in England at Cooper’s Hill, near the county of Gloucestershire. In the annual competition, Gloucester, a large and classic English cheese, is thrown down the mountain, and participants run to try to catch it. Because the terrain is full of ups and downs, the task is quite difficult. It is almost impossible not to fall and roll down the hill. The event has been happening for around 200 years. It brings people from all over the world together. In this edition, the winners of the race were: Tom Kopke, Dylan Twist, Abby Lampe, and Josh Shepherd.
