The Guardian reports that the race was first held in 1914. The winners of this year’s race were, for the men’s competition, Samy Lamrous at 13:30 and for the women’s competition, Pauline Van Wymeersch at 14:21. They each received as their prizes a gold medal identifying them as the fastest waiters and a stay for a night at a luxurious hotel.
