A PANCAKE Race is set to take place in aid of charity on February 25.

The Annual Winchester Pancake Race kicks off at 12pm with entertainment from Winchester University Buskers Society.

The event itself is a joint venture between Winchester Cathedral and the city's Rotary Club and racing will take place between 1pm until 2pm.

Teams will consist of four runners and races will be held in a relay format.

Participants will have to stop at designated points on the 38 meter long course to flip their pancake.

Proceeds are being raised for the charity Winchester and District Young Carers.

Trophies will be awarded to the winners.
