Renewed EKZ Cup starts the new season
The renowned cross-country racing series, the EKZ Cup, is starting the new racing season with some new features. A fresh and tidy new website and the new Cup logo are polishing up the Cup appearance. "After our website has been the same for several years, we decided to look for improvements in these areas," says OC President Heinrich Disch.
Another new feature this season is the fun category. Having already been launched a few times last year on a trial basis, the fun category has been given a permanent place in the EKZ Cup this year. The organization thus enables hobby riders to ride the original course without timekeeping and race stress.
The eight-race series kicks off on April 27 in Schwändi in the canton of Glarus. The established locations in the cantons of Zurich, St. Gallen and Glarus will remain in place. The grand finale will take place on September 20 in Fischenthal, Zurich. The EKZ Cup once again offers young talents and established elite riders an ideal environment in which to compete and develop. This is especially true for the very young participants, as the promotion of young talent is a top priority at the EKZ Cup.
The EKZ Cup is and remains focused on the junior categories and is a race series for the whole family. From the Pfüderi to the student and fun categories for parents, there is something for everyone at the Cup.Race dates EKZ Cup 2014
