35 of the Wildest Competitions and Championships That Actually Exist

Also known as Cooper’s Hill Cheese-Rolling and Wake, this annual event is held in Cooper’s Hill, England, where participants race down a hill after a round wheel of local cheese. The participants toss the cheese down the hill and run after it. This one actually sounds pretty fun, if you ask us.

The origins of the ceremony aren’t clear, but it is said to date back to 1826. Everyone can participate in the competition, but before you go signing up, keep in mind that it includes a lot of running, so you better be in shape and come with a lot of energy!
