Buggy (also called Sweepstakes) is a race held annually since 1920 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Teams of five athletes (the pushers) push an un-motorized vehicle (a buggy) containing a driver (an actual person) around a 0.84 mile course in a relay format where the vehicle serves as the baton. Roughly half of the course is uphill, during which the pushers run and shove the buggy uphill. During the other - downhill - half, drivers are on their own to navigate tight turns at speeds of up to 40mph. For more information, visit cmubuggy.org.
