Summary
About 150 corgis from nine countries gathered in Vilnius on Saturday for the annual Corgi Race Vilnius, underscoring how far the event has expanded beyond Lithuania.
The program went beyond sprinting, with multiple races joined by costume contests, a “smartest nose” tracking challenge, puzzle-solving events and a “Mightiest Voice” barking contest.
Owners and dogs traveled from Latvia, Poland, Estonia, Germany, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Britain and the United States, giving the gathering a broad international field.
The event began in 2020 as a friendly contest between two corgis and their owners and has since grown into an international fixture.
