Eating Apples

Lu Li, along with 99 other people, led their respective rams to the starting line.

The Dwarves saw the action of mounting a ram as a competition as well, since they thought that it looked cool. This was why they included this action as a part of the race as well. This action didn't take any skill though. As long as you didn't pull on the ram's wool, it would sit still and let you climb on.

Then, as soon as the gun sounded, the riders would be allowed to take off. 

False starts were not allowed. If a false start occurred, the big Dwarven uncle's next shot would be fired at you. There were some fierce-looking Dwarves on the sidelines, waiting to shoot their rifles. If players went up to them, they would be able to listen in on their conversation.

Shooting people was like shooting birds!

These guys were the new riflemen recruits in the Ironforge Brigade, so they used this opportunity as practice.
