Three Legged Sack Race 1951 Snapshot Collection Jim Linderman

A lovely moment preserved in 1951.  Yes, there is a website devoted to the sack race, and I am happy here to provide their rules for the game.

Three-Legged Race:
To play you will need one burlap bag for each two-person team. The more teams racing, the more fun it is.

• Participants stand side-by-side and put leg closest to each other in the burlap bag.
• Together, they race to the finish line.
• The first team to the finish line wins.

Note: The “Three-Legged Race” can be done in relay race form, too.
