Am I the first to say this year is going quickly?  Already at the end of Jan and my plans for the 2025 Pancake race are well underway.  I hear some participants have already been practicing their fast starts and flipping.

The same drill as before… Run, flip, run, flip, run, flip, Fun!!  We take over a 50 metre stretch of the high street to make way for flipping fantastic runners.  Sprinting to the finish line in heats, some are so fast if you blink you’ll miss them.  Others, myself included, tend to take a more leisurely approach!  *that’s a full on fib, I give it my all but it just looks like I’m walking!

We are looking for runners, old and new to join us this year.  For 30-45 mins of your time, you could walk away the winner of the Golden Frying pan.  The converted first place prize was won by Ryan of BFBS Salisbury plain radio in 2024.  Can you beat him? Is he even planning on defending his title?
