People come from all over the world to take part in this unique event which sees competitors racing through 22 miles of countryside. Last year, for the second time in the competition's 25 year history, a runner scooped the prize beating the fastest horse by over eleven minutes. Can the runners pull off the same feat this year?

The fair attracts thousands of country folk including working-dog enthusiasts, anglers, clay-pigeon shooters, hunt followers and terrier enthusiasts.
