A group of people is running with trays of pastries, coffee, and a glass of water on the streets of Paris, the capital of France. But none of their water or coffee spills on the street. They are not bringing this food in a hurry to a customer’s table. It was actually a restaurant staff race.
Parisians saw this 110-year-old competition again last Sunday. The competition is back in the heart of Paris after an almost 13-year break. This arrangement is mainly in front of the Olympic competition.
In 1914, the first restaurant worker competition took place. This time, the employees of the restaurant donned their costumes and competed in a race that lasted two kilometers (one hundred miles) and required them to carry a tray of pastries, an empty coffee cup, and a glass of water. City Hall marks the end of the run.
Van Wymeersch finished first in the women’s category with a time of 14 minutes and 12 seconds. At sixteen, he began working in restaurants. Now he is 34 years old. He said he never thought of leaving this profession.

“But this profession is now part of my DNA,” Wymiers added. I grew up with a tray in my hand.’
Lamrous finished first in the men’s category with a time of 13 minutes and 30 seconds. Medals for the winners of the competition and two tickets each to the opening ceremony of the Olympics on July 26. Apart from this, they can stay one night in a Paris hotel.
