Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake
The Cooper's Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake is an annual event held on the Spring Bank Holiday at Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, England. Participants race down the 200-yard (180 m) long hill chasing a wheel of Double Gloucester cheese. Its earliest known written attestation was in 1836, though it is possibly even older. Now people from a wide range of countries take part in the competition as well. The Guardian in 2013 called it a "world-famous event", with winners coming from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Egypt, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, and the United States.
