Sack Race
A sack race is a fun game in which participants race with both of their legs inside a sack or pillowcase. Races are held over various distances, or may be in the form of a relay. The first person or team to cross the finish line is the winner.
Participants usually hop forward from a starting point toward a finish line, though alternative methods include running inside the sacks, which is sometimes frowned upon. Using larger sized sack may also give an advantage.
