World Chase Tag, the international championship of the playground game tag, was held in the Essonne department of France. The event featured competitors from over 20 countries, showcasing agility and strategy in a specially designed obstacle course.
The competition, which has grown in popularity since its inception, involves two teams of four players each. One player from each team enters the arena for a 20-second round, with the 'chaser' trying to tag the 'evader' within the time limit. Points are awarded for successful evasions or tags.
The exact dates and winners of the 2026 championship were not independently verified at the time of writing. However, past events have been held in locations such as London and Los Angeles, with the sport gaining a following through online videos and televised broadcasts.
World Chase Tag is organized by the World Chase Tag organization, which aims to promote the sport globally. The event in Essonne was part of a series of qualifiers and finals that determine the world champion team.
