three-legged race
Tied-together relay
A three-legged race is a contest in which pairs of participants run with adjacent legs bound together, requiring coordination to move as a unit.
A staple of picnics, field days, and school events: We won the three-legged race at the company barbecue.
The format serves as a metaphor for any collaboration requiring close synchronization.
