Olympic champion Alastair Brownley participated in his first Oxenhope Straw Race, dressed as US President Donald Trump.

The former Triathlette, former Osbury, was one of the 600 participants in a fancy dress, who ran between six pubs while carrying a bundle of straw on Sunday.

This year marked the 50th anniversary of the event, which has returned in the 1970s when a friendly bet between two farmers that can increase a bundle of straw between the pubs, which will become a race for 2.5-mile (4 km).

Organizer Robin Wright said: “The origin of this extraordinary race is only captivating as this event.”

Brownli, who donated Donald Trump dress, told the BBC, “I have made a long career in a professional game, but has also been run in the region running running.

“It has always been something that I have seen and have never been able to do and now I have got the opportunity to do it, so it is very good to be in a very famous Oxenhope Straw Race here.”

According to the organizers, the program has increased more than £ 500,000 for donations to date.
