The 2009 edition of the
Totnes Elizabethan Society sponsored
orange races are in the books. This year there were eight different age categories, plus a police challenge race. The competitors start the race with an orange which they must
throw, kick, or otherwise motivate ahead of them to the end of the course. A full orange is not required at the end of the course, any piece will do - in fact any piece of
anyone's orange will do.
This year's races had heightened safety concerns due to newly erected
bollards and
chicanes designed to control traffic flow, so extra
marshalls were on hand to protect the competitors.
