In the event 2, Mr. Fit challenges the duo to sack race over a "thorny course." To win it, Banjo needs to [[Split-Up]] and use the [[Sack Pack]]. While the easiest way to reach the finish line first is to take the shortcut, winning through the main path is still possible.

In the third and last event, Mr. Fit challenges the two to a footrace. As he is very fast, Kazooie needs to Split-Up and wear the [[Turbo Trainers]] in order to win (although using the SUPERBANJO [[cheat code]] is also possible). Once the race is won, Mr. Fit will claim he "can't believe [he] was beaten by a bag of feathers" and give the duo his medal, then go to the gym to train for the next season.
