A course of about 15-20 meters between start and finish lines.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Each racer balances a coconut on a spoon or flat stick held out in front of them.

2

On the starting signal, racers walk or jog toward the finish line while keeping the coconut from falling.

3

If the coconut drops, the racer must stop, pick it back up onto the spoon, and continue from that spot.

4

Racers may not touch the coconut with their free hand except to reset a drop.

5

The first racer to cross the finish line with the coconut still balanced wins the race.
