Contest which finally leads to debagging? (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sack race

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'contest' is the definition.
(I know that sack race is a type of race)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sack race that I've seen before include "'Novelty competition where entrants run with their feet in a bag (4,4)'" , "sports day event" , "Novelty competition on school sports day" , "athletics contest" , "Get rid of nation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
