Waiters races have been run all around the world for over a century. It gives those in the profession a chance to demonstrate their professional skills including their agility and balance.
The earliest races started in France which were to recognise waiters for their contribution towards the tourism industry and economy as well as an opportunity to show off their skills to the public!
Now, these races are held around the world and this year in London the race of all races will be held on June 23rd, 2013.
It involves racing by carrying a tray, bottle and glasses, keeping them in place for the whole race. The winner is the Waiter who crosses the finishing line first with tray and contents still in tact.
The course usually runs for approximately 1km and in London the the starting line takes place at Brunswick Square from 10.00am. The Race starts at 11:00am.
