Cute and adorable Welsh corgis, widely known for their association with the British royal family, are in fact a breed of passionate racers. From around Europe, 120 teams are taking part in the Corgi Race Vilnius, in Lithuania’s capital.

Thousands of Lithuanians gathered in the capital’s largest park on Saturday to watch the events — a solo sprint, a contest for the ‘mightiest voice’, costume challenges, and group racing.

Children said they admired the costume challenge as dogs were dressed in eye-catching outfits like Batman, a princess or an aeroplane. The event culminated on Sunday with the so-called World Corgi Meetup, where dogs in Lithuania were connected via a live broadcast with their peers in the US, Ireland and Poland.
