In Rudolph Run, teams will work together to design and build a festive "sleigh track" to transport a Christmas ball along its entire length—powered only by gravity! The goal is to ensure the ball rolls unaided from start to finish, with bonus points awarded for creative twists, jumps, and even a loop-the-loop in your merry design.
This event is perfect for groups of all sizes, but with larger groups. Get ready for a festive challenge that combines creativity, teamwork, and engineering!
The group is divided into teams, with each team responsible for building one section of the track using bamboo canes, plastic tubing, cable ties, and string. Communication and organisation are key, as each section must connect perfectly for a smooth transition. Bonus points are awarded for festive design flourishes.
After building, each team is given one test run to make any final adjustments before the Grand Finale. The excitement builds as the ball makes its way through spirals, gaps, and jumps, with the crowd cheering it along. Will your team’s ball make it all the way through without a hitch?

The Rollercoaster Challenge was great! Everyone really enjoyed it and I’ve had a lot of people comment on how fun it was. I think everyone appreciated the fact that the ‘teams’ were working together rather than competing against each other, and that the challenge involved multiple skills such as creativity, planning, practical skills, and refinement.
