Welsh corgis, often celebrated for their royal connections, are also proving to be spirited racers. That was on display at the Corgi Race Vilnius in Lithuania’s capital, where 120 teams from across Europe competed. The event drew enthusiastic corgis and their owners from countries including Poland, Latvia, Germany, Austria, and Italy.
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.
The event wrapped up on Sunday with the World Corgi Meetup, where corgis in Lithuania were linked through a live broadcast with fellow pups in the United States, Ireland, and Poland.
“This is so much fun and great emotion for the entire family, something bright that many people are craving for these days,” said retired teacher Janina Stoniene, who attended the race with her three grandchildren. The children said they admired the costume challenge as dogs were dressed in eye-catching outfits like Batman, a princess or an airplane.
A corgi named Amigo, sporting a factory-themed costume complete with two tiny chimneys and “Fur Factory” lettering, was named the proud winner of that contest. Another called Mango, whose owners are from Lithuania, was the champion of the solo race.
