I have volunteered to organise our junior bike club fun race the week before Christmas. The ages are from 8 to 16, from new racers to national youth champ(!).
It will happen on (likely) a small, grassy park with a few trees and slopes, possibly flat tarmac at the Park n Ride if it is more like the Somme. We have cones, some wooden bits and bobs...We also have 40-60 kids taking part.
I have a few ideas, but can anyone else suggest some daft Christmas themed or just downright fun things to include on a SantaCross race?
Also, any ideas for tracking multiple laps in teams of 10 or so. I have an idea for something as simple as pegs - you take a peg at the end of each lap and clip on bike cable, and the first bucket of 20 pegs empty = winning team...
Cheers all

Scrabble dash ideas or something similar - you get a tile per lap and then need to make the highest scoring word at the end
Oh, I like that idea.
Scores = haribo rewards..? 😛
bump for lunchtime crowd...
When I did one of the CityCross events they had a beer shot shortcut, what about a mince pie shortcut (or similar)? Slight shorter route but you have to stop and eat a mince pie before setting off again. Or a shot of milk, you get the idea!
You could do the beer thing with beer, that'd be a laugh.
From experience of organising kids' races, stickers go down amazingly well.
Fun House go kart track but with bikes?
Funhouse? Do I get to grow a mullet?
