Cheese-Rolling Races


 In England, many towns have traditional competitions. In them, competitors usually try to win a game or contest. However, the annual cheese-rolling race in Brockworth is quite unique. At the start of the race, someone rolls a wheel of cheese down a very steep hill. Then, the competitors run after the cheese. The first person to reach the bottom of the hill is the winner.

Сheese-rolling has been a tradition in the town of Brockworth since the early 1800s. But what happens in this old and locally famous competition? It's quite simple, really. First, the competitors come together at the top of a hill named 'Cooper's Hill'. The slope of the hill is very steep - almost 45 degrees! And after that? They wait, but wait for what?

They wait for someone to push a very large wheel of cheese down the hill. The competitors then run very quickly after it. The cheese may reach up to 65 kilometers per hour. The competitors go quite fast too. The first one to the bottom of the hill wins. What's the prize for such an unusual event? It's the wheel of cheese – of course!

So, what drives these runners? What makes them do it? Are they crazy? One cheese runner thinks they may be. "It is dangerous," he says as he looks at the very steep slope of Cooper's Hill. "If I'm running down the hill, I must be crazy. Yeah, I must be crazy..." he decides with a smile.

The cheese racers of Brockworth may just be crazy. However, the crowds keep on cheering, and the competitors keep on running - year after year. It seems that a lot of people are very happy to try this dangerous run. Is it for the fame? Is it for the fun? We may never know, but you can almost be sure of one thing; it's not only for the prize. It's more than just cheese that makes people want to win Brockworth's annual cheese-rolling race!
