One course - Multiple ways to "run" it

I've been trying to come up with an easy way to do this without duplicating courses but can't find a way so thought I would ask if anyone has a thought - otherwise I'll submit a more detailed feature request.

Issue:  I have been setting up some winter, on trail navigation courses just to give people a fun, relatively easy map based trail "run" in between more formal events.  In most cases, these can be down on foot, snowshoes, fat bike or even skis.  Although not really a big deal as they are not intended to be competitive, it would be nice if there was some way to indicate or determine what means of "transport" was used.  I did one yesterday going back to back on foot and fat bike.  As an admin, I could go in to the results and edit my name in one (or both) to include "Fat Bike" but the regular user cannot do this.  I've tried to think of how to set this up so it would be possible to tell, either  by the track or some other difference, how it was run.  In some cases different routes could be marked either to a specific control or the finish (for each method) but this would make the map complex and not easily determined by anyone looking at results.

Obviously I could do multiple "events" for each which is how I would handle a formal event with different classes (same course) but was wondering if I'm missing some trick given the current capabilities?

Thanks
