THE EVENT
Ellon Pedal Car Races held in Ellon in 2010 and 2011 proved to be a huge success!
After months of preparations, the 2010 teams finally had the chance to reveal their pedal-powered dream machines and face the public and the competition. The event was opened by a local piper and as the crowds gathered the atmosphere intensified. Following two fast and exciting cycle races, 30 minutes of cartie madness ensued.
Off the race course, there was plenty going on to keep the crowd entertained - barbeque, bouncy castles, face painting, arts & crafts, local trade/market stalls, and more.
Congratulations to the Ythan Cycle Club team who were overall champions on the day after putting in an impressive performance around the race track.
