Participants wore the classic Parisian waiter outfit of a white top, black pants or skirt, and an apron. They had to hold a tray with a glass of water, a cup of coffee, and a croissant throughout the race without spilling anything. The winners received tickets to the Paris Olympics’ opening ceremony.
