SPECTATORS lined the streets on Sunday to cheer on competitors at this year's Oxted Pram Race, as fine weather brought out the crowds.
Colourful competitors abounded, with the likes of Wonder Woman running side-by-side with Spongebob Squarepants as racers romped across the town, raising money for Oxted and Limpsfield Rotary Club.
Clearly, the warm weather made many of those taking part more than a little parched, which led many to revel even more than usual in the traditional drink at pubs en route, with watering holes The Wheatsheaf, The Crown Inn, The George Inn and Old Bell proving particularly popular.
Sue Wallace, from the pram race committee, said: "It was just an absolutely fantastic day. It was great to see children getting involved.
"All in all, it was a great family day."
The race concluded at the fairground at Master Park. A fairground was also organised for Old Oxted, and 20 per cent of the proceeds from both went to the rotary club.
All told, around 3,000 spectators cheered on the racing prams all around the impromptu "track".
"We are all so happy with the race," added Mrs Wallace. "Everyone was in good spirits.
"We have not hyped up the pram race because it is the first time we have held it on a Sunday instead of a Friday, but it was such a success that we shall do it again."
There were 25 prams in this year's race and the winners of the male race were Les Miserables Gits, coming in at 8 minutes and 23 seconds.
The winner of the female race was Where's Wally Wander, in 10 minutes and 5 seconds.
Bromley Rugby Club under 16s came in at 8 minutes and 26 seconds, and Tandridge Heights were the first mixed team to pass the finish line at 18 minutes and 25 seconds.
Oxted Tea Party were given the crown for the best fancy dress, and the Ice Makers won the youth fancy dress competition.
