torch race
A torch race, also known as a lampadedromia, is a type of relay race where participants pass along a torch or a burning stick. It has roots in Ancient Greece, where it was often part of religious or festive celebrations. The winner is the first team or individual who successfully passes the flame to the finish line without it being extinguished. Nowadays, torch races often symbolize unity and shared purpose, and commonly occur during major events such as the Olympic Games.
