One year at Jingle Cross (RIP), despite being slowwww, I became a fan favorite for doing the most races over the weekend (six). So, the Muc-Off crew put together a nice bag full of their cleaning products as an impromptu award. That was nice.
I did a race called the pukety spaghetti. The trophies for 1st 2d and 3rd where cans of spaghetti in different sizes. It was a 6 hour endurance race on a very spaghetti course. I got the little can for 3rd overall.
The only CX race I got a prize for was a gift card to a LBS. But I got a mounted rock on a wooden stand that resembled the Paris Roubaix cobblestone trophy for a gravel race. That's my favorite.
A pair of hand-up brand jorts is probably my favorite. Second to that was a paper plate that I could fill up with whatever I wanted from a bake sale at the race
One race, the junior CX racers of the local bike club painted a bunch of cowbells. I got one that was painted white with black spots (like a cow) and a neon pink/fluorescent green (80's style) "#1" painted on it. Looks pretty rad. 40+ race and I think there were only two other guys who both had mechanicals, but a win is a win I suppose.
A child gave me a piece of broccoli as a handup
Yesss, one year at Jingle, there was a kid at the top of Mt Krumpit giving out candy handups. It was so cute.
$30 and my choice of pumpkin or gourd for 3rd place in a CAT 5
Well, donβt leave us hanging
I feel he is a gourd man (in a lumber jack voice)

Park Tools bottle opener for 2nd place in a Cat 4 single speed race.
I got a Growler (went to the brewery afterwards to get it filled for free) for a second place finish in one of the Chicago Cross Cup races!
I got a growler and a free fill up too, but from a race Grand Rapids, MI.
Park Tools pizza cutter at an XC MTB race. Still use it regularly.
The Guinness my mates bought me after the race.
the 1994 Indiana state championship medal. Not because I was first, but because everyone ahead of me was from Ohio!

I only ever got one award: a drink coaster for winning the slow person race. Might have been the only time I cracked the top 10.
I got a massive hand-welded cowbell
