The races take place at 12:30 p.m. each day at Pennywell Farm in Devon as part of its specially designed enrichment programs.
Pigs battle it out in an obstacle course involving hurdles, tires to jump through, and a dash to the finish line, as visitors cheer them on.

Each pig is named after a pop-culture icon - with other present and past competitors including Albert Einswine, Snoop Hog, Harry Trotter, and Stephen Porking.
The miniature pigs have been specially bred on the farm since 1992, and the average piglet weighs just 250g at birth.
Also known as teacup pigs, micro pigs and pygmy pigs, farm staff say each pig is "totally unique, with its own color, markings and personality."
