The VPACE Kids Cup has been a permanent fixture in downhill sport at least since the title sponsor came on board and the venues have become more consistent over time. And even if it is more or less just a series for children, the benefits for the participating kids are enormous.
Last but not least, it is always referred to as the precursor to the Rookies Cup, as the level of this international junior series has actually grown steadily, especially in the youngest classes. One reason for this is that the Kids Cup is a precursor.
Five races are planned again this year, with the obligatory start in Winterberg and Willingen as in previous years. After the festival stops, there will be some peace and quiet, as the next host is the tranquil town of Oberhof in the Thuringian Forest. A special setting has been chosen for the fourth round this time, as it will be travelling to Ilmenau for the first time, where the German Championships will be taking place at the same time and the kids will therefore be very close to the stars. As usual, the finale will be held at the BIKE Festival in Leogang, Austria, so that a real Alpine backdrop will once again form the panorama at the end.
