About this Event
One of the most iconic events at the Shaftesbury Food Festival — the Gold Hill Cheese Race challenges contestants to carry a 23kg round of cheese up the famous cobbled Gold Hill, made world-famous by the Hovis bread advert.
This beloved tradition draws crowds from across the region and beyond. Participants of all ages are catered for, with races for different age groups throughout the morning. It's a true test of strength, stamina and determination on one of England's most picturesque and steepest streets.
Generous prizes are available from our sponsors, and every entrant receives a race number on entry. Whether you're here to race or cheer — it's an unforgettable experience.
Disclaimer, this race takes place uphill and on cobbles, runners are responsible for their own health and safety, you must ensure you are fit enough to take part
