KIDS RACE
Do you have what it takes to get to the top?
Kids are also very much welcome to take part in the race!
One “race” will be organised, as a leave-all-together with the aim of getting as far up the hill as possible on a bike and finish the hill by foot if needed.
- Start at 10:30
- There are no age restrictions
- No prior registration needed
- Parents are more than welcome to assist and push their kids gently up the hill (make sure you leave enough space for kids around you though!)
- Geared bicycles are recommended on the course but are not an obligation.
All kids will receive a small reward at the top. Come and have fun!
