The World Hen Racing Championship is held on the first Saturday in August at Barley Mow Inn,England and dates back at least 100 years. At last years event some changes were apparent. In the past the winners have been fairly random but last year many of the contestants had clearly been in training for the race. The chickens were urged on with the banging of pans,weird voices and pans of worms at the finish line. Out of the field of around 52 hens Road Runner was declared the winner by a photo finish. The organizers of the race called no fouls on the fowls and accepted the changes as a new era in hen racing.
