## Description

Oxenhope Straw Race is a vibrant annual charity event held every summer in the picturesque Pennine village of Oxenhope, near Keighley. Dating back to the mid-1970s, this unique race originated from a friendly bet between two local farmers and has since transformed into a community spectacle that benefits various local charities. Each year, participants, dressed in creative fancy dress, compete in teams to carry a bale of straw while racing between six pubs over a scenic 2.5-mile route. 

The race takes place on the first Sunday in July, beginning at the Waggon and Horses and culminating at the Dog and Gun, with pit stops that foster a lively carnival atmosphere. With over £450,000 raised for causes like Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice and Haworth Riding for the Disabled, the Oxenhope Straw Race is not just a competition but a celebration of community spirit and generosity. Whether you're running or cheering from the sidelines, this event promises fun, camaraderie, and a memorable day out for everyone involved.
