Mine is a Gin is right its a very old English tradition, the objective is to catch the cheese, never heard of anyone doing it, but they still chase, can involve drinking before hand and there are always a few taken away to the hospital, Got to love those English

It’s traditional! The winner of each race gets the cheese they’re chasing. If they don’t get carted off in an ambulance, that is!
It happens in Stilton too I believe
