This isn't actually the case, I think. From when I've needed it for work, as long as non-CRB staff are supervised at all times by a CRB'd staff member it is okay. Not sure how far you could push the ratio, but we've certainly done 1:1 fine
Interesting. My experience is based on my old Scout group where any leader/helper/whatever who goes on camp must be CRB checked (even if it's a parent of one of the children camping). That might just be a policy of the Scouts though, so might be different. You're also never allowed to be alone with a single child. Two adults and one child is fine, and vice versa.
Maybe in this situation it's different because you're in loco parentis, whereas if it's a one off event then it can be assumed the child would have the protection of their parents before/after the race/track session/whatever? I know not. Just don't want to see anyone getting accused of being a nonce just because they're running a super-awesome open-to-everybody cycle event.

I'd want to make sure everything is above board.
