This fun is a must at the festival. For those who don't know what it is, here's a brief explanation. Big people on small bikes race against each other. But not on just any bikes - on specially tuned PUKY wheels they race around the pump track. The atmosphere is bombastic!
In order not to underchallenge you, we have invited a few fast riders from the scene in cooperation with PUKY. Here you can find out exactly who we have invited.
Of course, anyone can take part in the PUK OFF'S, but registration is required. This can only be done at the PUKY stand at the festival. There will be an open qualification, if you are good enough and make it to the final, you can really let it rip on Saturday evening.

| Saturday | 11:00 am - 12:00 pm | Qualification |

The iXS European Downhill Cup will once again kick off this year in Santiago de Besteiros, Portugal. The first stop will take place from April 10 to 12, counting as a qualifying race for the World Cup and offering additional training days and a second C1 race one week later.
With a packed racing calendar presented at the end of the year, the next phase of season preparations is now underway. Series registrations are now open, allowing series starters to sign up for the entire 2026 series.
Even though the 2026 calendar was published a few weeks ago and should be finalised, there has now been a change to the date of the penultimate race in Ilmenau. The iXS Downhill Cup and therefore also the VPACE Kids Cup race have been postponed by one week.
