How to play
A running relay version of the card game memory. Pairs take turns sprinting to a face-down suit of cards to bring them back in order, ace to king, so teamwork and memory matter as much as speed.
- Set up a 20-metre running lane or use a basketball court.
- Give each pair one full suit (ace to king) laid face down at the far end; one deck serves eight players.
- One partner runs down and flips a card, looking for the ace. If it's wrong, they turn it back over and sprint back.
- Only bring back one card at a time, in order: ace first, then two, and so on to the king.
- While one partner runs, the other holds a static position such as a plank, wall sit, v-sit, squat hold or lunge hold.
- Partners talk to remember which cards are where. The first pair with all cards back in order wins.
