Emerald Downs, a thoroughbred racing track in Auburn, Washington, held its first "grandparents race" on Sunday as part of its Grandparents Weekend. Over 20 elderly participants took to the tracks for a 40-yard foot race, according to TMX.
The video shows two runners tumble to the ground, but no serious injuries were reported.
During Grandparents Weekend, grandparents were granted free entry and prize drawings for grandparents, along with two stakes races.
Steve Butler of Everett, Washington was the first to cross the finish line and was crowned the winner of the inaugural grandparents race.
