The two-day downhill races for the 2008 to 2018 age groups will once again take place in Lenzerheide and Chur. In addition to training and racing, a seeding run will be introduced for the oldest category at the last race in Lenzerheide on a trial basis. The aim is to carefully introduce the next generation to the challenging downhill race riding.

The origins of this youth race series date back to 2020, when a children's downhill race was held for the first time as part of the Bike Kingdom Feast. The response was impressive with 60 children registered. Spurred on by this success, the decision was made to establish a series with three event weekends in 2021. In just three years, this series has become firmly established in Swiss junior sport.

The number of participants speaks for itself: up to 300 children regularly register for each race, a clear sign that young Swiss downhill riders are thirsting for racing opportunities. Some young riders have been taking part in every race since the series began and cherish the dream of making the leap into a World Cup career. Emma Iten and Loris Schäpper have already realized this dream. Emma was one of the first girls to take part in the Bike Kingdom Kids Cup. Her impressive result in 2023, an outstanding fourth place at the Downhill World Cup in Andorra, shows that this series not only offers a platform for entry into professional sport, but also produces real talent.
