150 corgis gathered in Vilnius for a special international race celebrating the beloved small herding dogs from Wales. The event featured a costume parade, a “smartest nose” challenge, and a competition for the loudest bark. Organizers of the fifth Corgi Race Vilnius deemed it the largest edition to date, with participants from nine countries, including the United States, the UK, and various European nations.
