EKZ Cup presents 2018 race calendar

The popular national mountain bike race series EKZ Cup will consist of six events next year. As before, the season will open on the last weekend in April in Schwändi and end on September 9 with the finale at Pfaffenstiel in Egg, Zurich.

Organizer Heinrich Disch is delighted with the announcement of the 2018 race calendar: "It's great that we will be able to work with the six previous organizers again next year. This continuity helps everyone involved and promotes young talent in the individual regions in particular." With Wetzikon, Hittnau, Uster and Egg, four races will take place in the canton of Zurich. The first race will take place in Schwändi in the canton of Glarus. In addition, the fourth race will take place in Eschenbach in St. Gallen after the summer break.

Continuity in the program too

The EKZ Cup will also rely on the tried-and-tested schedule and categories in 2018. The daily program and the various categories remain the same as in the 2017 season, with the main races still consisting of juniors, amateurs, masters, elite and women (with and without a licence). The amateur riders without a license (For All) will also be included. However, all categories are scored individually. While there is prize money to be won in the licensed race and the women's class, the For All riders each receive prizes in kind.
