Kidsworx at Crankworx Les Gets

From 14 to 18 June, Les Gets in the French Alps is hosting Crankworx, one of the leading international events in the world of mountain biking.  Alongside competitions with the world’s top riders, will be a bevy of shows, races for the general public and side entertainment.

Les Gets is the ultimate family resort with mountain biking tracks suitable for every age group, so it was only natural to give the kids their chance to take part in this amazing festival. Kidsworx offers riders six years old and up the opportunity to compete alongside the heroes of the sport, with competitions on the Pump Track, a Dual Slalom course and their own Downhill.

New in 2017:

• An additional category for the 13/14 years old.
• A Downhill competition, in addition to the Pump Track and Dual Slalom’s trials.
• A discipline for the 2/5 years old: the Run Bike Challenge.
