Course roughly 25-35ft (7.5-10.5m).

HOW TO PLAY
1

Each racer places a cone-shaped hat or object on top of their head without holding it.

2

On the signal, racers walk the course as briskly as they can manage while keeping the hat balanced.

3

If the hat falls, the racer must stop, replace it, and continue from that spot without help.

4

Racers may not touch the hat with their hands except to reset it after a fall.

5

The first racer to cross the finish line with the hat still on their head wins.
