Last week, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Kevin Pillar posted a video of him taking part in the Garbage Can Race.

I'm #NeverDone finding new ways to train for the season. This is called the “garbage can race”. @mcdavid97 and @tessavirtue17 are good on their skates, but can they top me off ice? Or how about you @simmyhov21? #teamadidas Any of my followers willing to give this a shot? Bring it on. Post a vid, tag me and use the hashtags #NeverDone #teamadidas if you think you can beat me!

After performing the stunt in less than 7 seconds, Pillar then challenged Connor McDavid, Simoni Lawrence and Tessa Virtue to beat his time. Since he called out some fellow athletes, you can bet they were up to the test.

Not even 24 hours later, Virtue took the challenge and took part in the Garbage Can Race.

Ok @KPILLAR4, you win this round. Thanks for the challenge 🏃🏻‍♀️Next time let's get some toe picks involved! ⛸ #NeverDone #teamadidas pic.twitter.com/6Gg58Bdjzt

On Wednesday, Hamilton Tiger-Cats linebacker Simoni Lawrence took part in the challenge and set a new high score.

@KPILLAR4 Hey @KPILLAR4 I might have had the advantage chasing fast players for a living but I beat your time! #neverdone #teamadidas #garbagecanrun pic.twitter.com/KmZq1cjZoh

Looks like Lawrence is now the person to beat.
