three legged race

Tied-together running contest

A three-legged race is a contest where pairs of participants run together with one person's right leg tied to their partner's left leg, creating an awkward three-legged unit that must coordinate movement to reach the finish line.

It's a staple of picnics, field days, and family reunions: We won the three-legged race at the company barbecue.
