The annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race took place in St. Albans, Hertfordshire today (March 5).<br /><br />There was a mixture of walking and running races in the city centre's market place where competitors took on a short course.<br /><br />Those who chose to dress up had to use guides as they made their way through the track.<br /><br />But for the first time ever, toddlers were allowed to participate - with a helping hand from some parents at least.
