A mini race series for bike-loving kids, who otherwise only had to watch
For the age groups five to ten there is now the perfect format to experience the first small competitions on two wheels. You could also say: the pre-school for the Rookies Cup.
After the distribution of the start number the kids meet for the welcome, the "Riders Meeting" and a common track walk. Afterwards they train before things get serious and the start beep sounds. On a easy downhill trail the kids race against the clock - all age-appropriate of course.
In the foreground is the experience - the kids should have fun and action, meet bike friends and get to know new people and get used to competitions in a playful way. Everyone wins, the three fastest even gold, silver and bronze.
