La Carretilla

Trazan dos líneas rectas paralelas a una distancia de cuarenta y cinco yardas. Detrás de una de esas líneas se colocan los participantes en parejas.
Uno de cada pareja se coloca de espaldas frente a su compañero. Coloca ambas manos en el piso. Su compañero lo levanta asiendo sus pies hasta colocarlos a ambos lados de su cintura. De esa manera forman las carretillas.
A una señal dada corren hacia la otra línea. La primera pareja que llegue a la meta, gana la carrera.
En ocasiones, para formar la carretilla, se colocan frente a frente. De esta manera resulta más divertido, según los informantes.

The Wheelbarrow

Two parallel lines should be marked on the ground at forty-five feet distance. Players will stand behind one of those lines, organised in pairs.
Each pair will build a wheelbarrow together: both facing to the same direction, one must place himself in front of the other, and put his hands on the ground. The other will hold his/her partner's feet on his hands, and will put them on his hips. That is the way of building the wheel-barrow. 
When it sounds the order to start, they run to the final line, to the goal.
The winner is the couple who reaches the final line first.
Sometimes, to build up the wheel-barrow, the players can stand face-to-face first, and try to build up the wheelbarrow facing each other. They say that they have much more fun, then!
