SLIDESHOW: 348 miles in 12 hours... on a lawn mower!

Organisers say that the event is a true test of human endurance and mechanical reliability and this year 37 teams took up the challenge.

The British Lawn Mower Racing Association’s annual event has truly become an international affair, seeing drivers from Belgium, Egypt, France, Luxembourg and South Africa take part in 12 hours of continuous racing.

The event is supported by The Winner of Group companies, which offers a national service for the hire of event, plant, equipment, tools and aerial platforms.

Winners Mark Rostron, Andy Rostron and Daz Whitehead, also known as ‘Northeners Kick Grass’, claimed victory and retained their current distance record of 348 miles.

Every year the profits are donated to a locally chosen charity and this year, Ingfield Manor School receives the funds, helping support the education of children with cerebral palsy.
