Each year men and women race the streets of Gawthorpe carrying huge sacks of Coal.
There is a Men’s Veterans Race race which takes place first, followed by a women’s race and two men’s main races, with the best time being taken across the three men’s races. This was newly introduced in 2013 due to the events popularity and was a great success.

The event consists of Men’s, Women’s and Children’s races that take place on Easter Monday. Men carry 50kg of coal and women 20kg in weight.

Knavesmire Harriers had a strong contender for World Champion with Hannah King hauling  her  sack of coal over the distance quickly enough attain third place. If only this were an Olympic discipline.

In the Men’s race Chris Roberts was 5th and Tom Ratcliffe is not now  seeking employment at a coal delivery merchants.
