You were only copying the Buxworth Olympics which have been around for years...
The epic annual Chinley Chariot race needs to return. THAT scene in Ben Hur was entirely based on it, the excitement and carnage as ape drawn carriages jostled for first place over 2 laps through the village onto Lower Lane and back round Station Approach to the finish line at Squirrel Green opposite Basil's sweet shop (a legend of the business sock) to the tumultuous applause of hundreds of locals clapping their feet in rapturous excitement.
