The classic Sack Race is making a comeback. Children will love the goofyness of this race, and adults are guaranteed to re-live their childhood memories! There are numerous variations on sack race rules, however some suggestions are below.

Individual sack race

• Provide each participant with their own sack. The more people racing, the more fun it is!
• Each person puts both feet in the sack, and must keep at least one hand on the sack at all times.
• On the mark, participants begin hopping towards the finish line. The first racer to the finish line wins!

Relay Race:

• Get participants in teams of 2 or more. The more teams there are and the more people racing, the more fun it is!
• Each person puts both feet in the sack, and must keep at least one hand on the sack at all times.
• On the mark, participants begin hopping towards a marked point and back, tagging the next person in their team.
• Then, the next person gets into the sack and repeats the course.
• The first team to complete the course wins.

Three-Legged Race:

• Divide participants into teams of two. The more teams racing, the more fun it is!
• Participants in a team stand side by side and put the leg closest to each other in the hessian sack.
• Teams must race towards the finish line, the first team to finish wins.
