Some women run to win, others just to compete in the famous race that receives worldwide media coverage. Just about everyone in Liberal is involved in some way with Pancake Day. Civic clubs sponsor events during the 4-day celebration that has grown up around the race.
Spectators come from all over the nation, and from other countries.
State and national dignitaries are always present. A Pancake Day History book has been published, and we now have a chronological account of the event since it started. By Virginia Leete.
