ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for simulating running games wherein figurines are propelled about a track to simulate races and field events. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the figurines are guided along slots in the track and have electric motors that are powered by control signals supplied from conductive strips paralleling the track. The control signals are preferrably supplied by a foot control unit that is operated by alternating foot motions of the user. With such an arrangement running games can be simulated which permit the physical dexterity and strategy of the user to affect the outcome of the contest.
