Updated:

Hundreds of waiters in Argentina's capital Buenos Aires took part in the annual waiters' race on Saturday, walking as fast as possible without spilling bottles and drink glasses from their trays.

A total of 368 men and women from all over Argentina took part in the 1,600-meter race through Avenida de Mayo, one of the capital's main avenues.

There were various age categories. The winner of each category was the person who crossed the finish line first with their tray intact.

Cafe culture remains a staple in the Argentine capital, often dubbed as 'the Paris of the South.'
