potato sack race
Hopping field event
A potato sack race is a children's game in which contestants stand inside burlap sacks, hold the edges up around their waists, and hop toward a finish line.
It's a staple of school field days, picnics, and outdoor festivals, prized for being low-tech and reliably chaotic.
The term sometimes appears as sack race, with potato sack understood.
We signed up for the potato sack race at the company picnic.
