Overton is getting ready for one of its most beloved and eccentric summer traditions: the annual Overton Wheelbarrow Race! Scheduled for Friday, July 18th at 7:30pm, this year’s event promises to be bigger and better, all in the name of raising vital funds for local sporting facilities.
The madcap dash will begin on Pound Road, winding its way through every pub in the village—so expect a lively atmosphere and plenty of cheer—before crossing the finish line at the Overton Recreation Centre. Whether you’re competing, cheering from the sidelines, or just tagging along for the village pub crawl, it’s sure to be a night to remember.
Overton Radio will be broadcasting live from the event, bringing listeners all the thrills, spills, and laughs as they happen in a special programme dedicated to race night. From interviews with participants to commentary on the race route, the station promises full coverage of every wheel-powered moment.
More details, including how to enter or support the event, will be announced in the coming weeks—so stay tuned to Overton Radio and follow local updates for everything you need to know.
Get your costumes ready, oil those wheels, and mark your calendars—Overton’s wildest race is just around the corner!
