Schoolchildren from local schools take part in the children's races prior to the annual Pancake race in the town of Olney, in Buckinghamshire, England, Tuesday, February 13, 2024. Every year women clad in aprons and head scarves from Olney and the city of Liberal, in Kansas, USA, run their respective legs of the race with pancakes in their pans. According to legend, the Olney race started in 1445 when a harried housewife arrived at church on Shrove Tuesday still clutching her frying pan with a pancake in it. (Photo by Kin Cheung/AP Photo)
