The Great Chesham Pancake Race returns!! Another free event organised by Chesham Connect – all welcome!
Celebrating this old Chesham Tradition and bringing some fun to February.
Teams of four will run a relay race but instead of a baton, they will pass a frying pan and pancake, each runner stopping to toss the pancake twice. The winners of each heat will go on to the next round, building up to the final race. All for the honour of being the winners of The Great Chesham Pancake Race 2026!
Frying pans and pancakes (don’t eat them!) for the race will be provided.
Sign up now! You can enter a team, or as a solo and be matched up with teammates on the day. Families, friends, charities, clubs and businesses are all welcome.
But if you don’t want to run – you can still take part just by coming along to watch and cheer your favourites home!
Meet 14th February at 11am in the High Street (outside Roots).
Did you know that in the 1980s there were annual Pancake Races in Chesham?
In 2023 Chesham Connect organised a revival of this tradition. Now returning for its fourth year.
