This traditional competition, held annually in Gloucestershire, England, involves participants chasing a large round of Double Gloucester cheese down the steep and treacherous Cooper’s Hill. Originating over 200 years ago, the event has become famous for its daring participants and often-humorous tumbles as racers hurtle downhill in pursuit of the cheese.
