The event is held in memory of well loved Old Town character Peter Trickett, who died in 2002. Peter was well know for starting the Crown Lane Bike Race, in Old Town Week, wearing a top hat and a distinctive red jacket.

Packed crowds cheered on the contestants in both adults and children’s races. Fastest for the children’s races was Dylan Swan. The overall winner was presented with Peter Trickett’s walking stick to hold for a year.
