Dogon Stilt Walker's Balance Race

Set a start and finish line a short distance apart on flat, open ground.

Each racer mounts their stilts with help from a spotter and takes a moment to find their balance.

On the signal, racers walk the course on their stilts, spotters walking alongside for safety.

Anyone who steps off their stilts must pause, remount, and continue from where they stopped.

The first stilt-walker to cross the finish line still upright wins the race.
