• 12:30 PM – Hummeltjesrace: For the youngest racers, ages 3-4, the Hummeltjesrace offers an exciting challenge on balance bikes. Watch as the little ones pedal their way down the track, some eager to win while others might enjoy a slower pace. Either way, it’s always fun to see!

Tips for Parents

Here are a few tips to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for you and your child:
