In May 1997, a youth team called the Raggy Dolls from Sir William Romney school (UK) completed the World Woolsack Championship race in a record 3 min 20.01 sec. The Annual Woolsack Champion Races, held in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, UK, involve teams of four runners that relay up and down a steep hill while carrying a huge 27.21 kg (60 lb) bag of wool on their shoulders. A traditional woolsack race consists of a 1 in 4 gradient hill, with each leg 225 m (738 ft) long.
