Watch | A unique race for the quick and strong
The annual Tetbury Woolsack Race is literally an uphill task. Contestants carry sacks of wool and run uphill. In the middle ages, it was a show of strength to woo young women. Nowadays, men carry a 60-pound sack of wool on their backs and women carry 35-pound sacks. Now in its 43rd year, the Woolsack race continue to draw a close-knit crowd and raise money for local charities.
