Thecarrera de cintas, or belt race, is a traditional sport often played during thepatronal festival inSpain andLatin America. In thecarrera de cintas, short belts with loops on one end are hung from a wire suspended between two posts. Contestants, who may be on either horses or bicycles, ride towards the wire and attempt to capture a belt by putting a peg through the loop. Traditionally, the belts are given to a group of women who then award prizes.[1] Its origins can be traced back to medieval tournaments on horseback.[2]
