The race, called Big Sibenik City Award, was held on makeshift carts called "karici". It began at noon, when 26 participants aboard the carts raced downhill from the Barone fortress to the waterfront.
Deputy mayor Pasko Rakic was one of the racers. He said the atmosphere in Sibenik in December was the same as during the peak summer season thanks to a varied music programme and attractive events such as today's race.
The race was held under the auspices of the city and its tourist board. It was organised by the Disco Gimnazija association for the promotion and protection of culture.
