Racing Downhill After A Rolling Cheese

Every year in England, people sprint down a dangerously steep hill to chase a wheel of cheese. The cheese reaches speeds of 70 miles per hour, often leaving competitors tumbling uncontrollably behind it.

This bizarre tradition at Cooper's Hill has been running for centuries, though its exact origins remain a total mystery. Participants risk serious bumps and bruises for the chance to win a wheel of local Double Gloucester. While it started as a small village event, it now attracts thrill-seekers from all over the world. It is truly a wild sight to see international competitors racing gravity just to catch a snack.
