The Great Pancake Day Race
Ladies, there’s still time to register for the Great Pancake Day Race in Cherokee, Iowa.
According the Cherokee Chronicle Times:
The race includes women who wear a dress, an apron, and a head scarf, all carrying a pan with a pancake. At the start of the race, all runners must flip their pancake, then run the 415-yard course, winding through town and ending at the church where they must again flip their pancake to finish.
There are more pictures from last year’s race here.
Of course, as with all novelty races, this one is really owned by the Brits:
