Here's a selection of the strangest races in the world.
   Surf Dog Competition
   Hundreds of participants(參賽者) from all over the US come to fight for the first prize.This annual event is an official dog surfing competition taking place in Imperial Beach in August and Huntington Beach in September.Theattendance to the event is free of charge,however,donations are welcome.
   Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race
   If you think wheel toys are designed for kids only,you're wrong.The race was initiated by John Brumit in 2000 when he rode down Lombard Street on his plastic wheel toy.That day,he was the only participant in the race.He continued his tradition every year,but few joined him.In 2006,someone posted a video of his race and as a result,the next year's race featured hundreds of participants though there was no prize money.Since then,the annual race has been held on Easter Sunday in San Francisco.
   World's Ugliest Dog Contest
   It's an annual event held in June in Petaluma,California.But it's not about making fun of the ugly dogs,but about encouraging them and showing the world that such dogs can also be happy and adorable.The competition has been held since the 1970s.The winner gets a check for ﹩1,000.
   Fur Rondy
   Like the famous Spanish Bullfighting Festival,Alaska has its own tradjye.aiion.It's a bit transformed.Speedy reindeer(馴鹿)run after the participants in the race.This event is held every February in Anchorage,Alaska.Participants pay a small fee to attend it;some of them wear funny dresses,which children enjoy very much.
