Men's winner Samy Lamrous and top waitress Pauline Van Wymeersch walked the two-kilometre (1.2-mile) route in 13 minutes 30 seconds and 14 minutes 12 seconds respectively – each carrying a tray with a croissant, espresso and glass of water. |
As well as their medals, both winners would receive a night's stay in a swanky hotel, said city water authority Eau de Paris, which sponsored the event. |
First born in 1914, the "course des garçons de café" (cafe waiters' race) was held on March 24 for the first time since 2011 – four months before the city hosts the Olympics in July-August. |
Unlike their Olympic counterparts, the waiters wore a white shirt, dark trousers and an apron provided by the organizers. |
The 200 contestants started the race at city hall by the Seine river, set on their way by mayor Anne Hidalgo. |
"We want the Olympic Games to give a positive boost to the profession" of restaurants and waitering, deputy mayor Nicolas Bonnet-Oulaldj said when the event was announced last month. |
