Gascoigne wins 21 mile walk to Hexham in 3 hrs. 43 mins. & J. Witherspoon walks to Haltwhistle in 6 hrs. 49 1/2 mins. - but he had a band to help." (Title card held in digital transfer as only a few frames remained.) The film opens on a street lined with a crowd of spectators. An OXO banner marks the starting post for the race to begin at 8 am. Photographers are positioned in front of the walkers to capture the start of the race. The racers pass by the cameraman, and as they do, some of the crowd, mostly children, begin to follow them.
