A high-energy jumping race.
A high-energy jumping race. Competitors step inside large, heavy crocus bags (burlap sacks) that reach up to their waists, holding the edges up with their hands. At the signal, they must hop forward like rabbits toward the finish line. Falling over is common, making it a highly entertaining spectator event.
