Corgi racing and high fashion: a photo gallery

A photo gallery published by The Guardian on August 15, 2026, captures the whimsical world of corgi racing, blending high fashion with the racetrack. The images, taken by photographers Petras Malūkas, Ints Kalniņš, Anadolu, and Mindaugas Kulbis, show corgis in various stages of a race, from the starting dash to the winner's podium. Highlights include a corgi dressed in high fashion, a corgi being toweled down after the race, and a corgi humorously referred to as 'Sir Woof-a-lot' alongside a prince. The gallery also features a corgi in a firefighter's presence, a corgi demanding a treat, and a corgi jokingly concerned about extinction. The event appears to be a lighthearted celebration of the breed, with captions adding playful commentary. The gallery does not specify the exact location or date of the races, but the photographs are credited to international news agencies, suggesting a global appeal. The images are part of a series that captures the charm and athleticism of corgis, presented in a humorous and affectionate manner.
