bike the bugles Junior Race

The bike the bugles Junior Race at Krumbach is part of the KTM Mountainbike Challenge — Junior Challenge series and takes place on Saturday 29 August 2026 at Arena Tiefenbach in Krumbach, Niederösterreich. The event is tailored for young mountain bikers across age groups U5 to U17 with separate starts and short-format races for each class. The Krumbach round forms one of several Junior Challenge venues that together follow common rules and the Austria Youngsters Cup format for older juniors. It emphasises participation and development for younger riders rather than long endurance distances.

Online registration closes on 26 August with on-site 'Nachnennung' allowed up to one hour before each start, and start number collection opens on race day from 12:00 until 30 minutes before each start. All participants receive a certificate and a medal while podium finishers are awarded trophies, and U13–U17 classes are integrated into the Austria Youngsters Cup. Course distances and detailed maps are not published on the organisers' page, but the schedule lists class start times and approximate durations. Local information and accommodation contacts are available via the event website.
