The race took place annually in January or February. Racers would run several blocks down Main Street to the front of the Valley Courier where the winners were presented prizes. The women were required to wear an apron and a scarf. They ran holding a skillet with a pancake and had to flip it to the end without dropping it at any time. A woman dressed like Aunt Jemima was always there during the picture taking ceremony. Mexican American Elizabeth Zamora, #4 and third from right, was 57 years old and the oldest participant.
