Starting outside Parsonage 53, racers tossed their pancakes six times in total – once at the start of the race, twice on the way up, once at the halfway point as they turned around, then twice more on the way back to cross the finish line.

Stroud Times’s Faye Hatcher romped home in the first heat to reach the final, but the overall winner was Ross Bowden, Personal Trainer at Active Lifestyles Stroud District.
