Ackworth Pram Race a hit despite the weather

Hundreds of supporters showed their support along the two mile route, which ended at Ackworth Cricket Club.

The race was won by the Bearded Cheerleaders for the third year in a row.

Alan Martin, one of the race’s organisers, said: “It was an absolutely fantastic day. I was absolutely soaked to the skin.”

The children’s race will now take place in September, with a date yet to be confirmed.
