Getting to the start
Walk or catch the ‘Straw Race Hoppa’, provided by Hodgsons Taxis. There are three shuttle buses in operation, from 11am which will run from: 1. Oxenhope station to the Waggon & Horses Inn and 2. Dog & Gun to the railway station. Note that Hebden Bridge road is closed from 12:00 through the village but remains open all day subject to the diversion from Shaw Lane, so it is possible to drive to and park your car at the start.
The Course:
Teams of two (male, female or mixed) start at the Waggon & Horses Inn, walk or run 1 mile to the Bay Horse Inn where a bale of straw is picked up (female teams may carry 1/2 bales if wished), and head up to the finish at the Dog & Gun, some 1 1/2 miles up a gentle hill, via the Social Club, the Lamb Inn and the former Shoulder of Mutton. A pint of beer (or half-pint for female teams) is drunk by teams
at each stop.
You can see a ‘virtual tour’ of the course here courtesy of the Haworth Village Site.
The Finish:
The Dog & Gun. There will be a funnel which all teams will follow. As soon as each team crosses the finish line their race medals will be given.
There will be marshals along the route and the route to be taken will be obvious!
