The famous
CHEESE RUN
AT GOLD HILL
It’s back, The Cheese Run will take place again this year as part of the Shaftesbury Feastival. The Cheese Run sees a number of races where the competitors race up the incredibly steep cobbled Gold Hill. Competitors race up the hill carrying locally made truckles of cheese which is no mean feat as they are much heavier than they look. The history of the event suggests that the Cheese Run was a tribute to the hundreds of years that cheese has been produced in Blackmore Vale.
To take part, register on the day at the information gazebo outside the Guildhall. Open to all ages.
