953 nut 56,785 #1 Posted Monday at 12:07 PM Champion Crab Races Day hosts a very interesting sporting event on February 17. A typical crab race event requires people to enter crabs in competitions with the chance to win prize money. Competing crabs enter about 12 to 14 heat races. The winner of each race goes on to compete in the championship race. The race begins with the competing crabs under a bowl in the middle of a racing ring. Once the bowl is lifted, the race starts, and it’s pure anticipation until the winning crab crosses outside the ring. The National Crab Racing Association (N.C.R.A.) is the most prominent organization involved with crab racing. In 1979, the organization was founded by Jim Morgan. The N.C.R.A. is responsible for training crabs to compete in the championship races. They get their crabs from the top importer of hermit crabs globally, Florida Marine Research. The best crabs from training go on to the crab racing circuit in Canada and the United States. 2 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
