That last bit is beyond disappointing.

Maybe cheese fitness, where you push a (preferably) round hardy cheese towards a goal line some 42 kilometres down the road. That'll work.
 
Ah...a cheese marathon. I doubt if there is any place on this globe where a round cheese could roll that far, hills or not.

Ah well, one of the advantages of NHS is we can do idiotic suicidal stuff like this (if we are not scaredy wuss cats) and get patched up after for Freee!

I was going to ask if people actually eat the cheeses after.  My initial web browsing did not provide the answer...

Sadly, the noble art of cheese rolling has fallen foul in recent years of the less than noble phenomenon of Health & Safety.

Such nonsense has no place within the strictures of following a Double Gloucester speedily down a 2/2 hill, preferably whilst drunk on cider

I like when people chase the cheese and fall down the hill. It is great hilarity.
