The youth developement in sports is an important part of "Eschborn-Frankfurt" since the first race in 1962. Today there are nine races for young people ages 2-17 years.
The Süwag Energie Junior Cup offers licensed junior club riders the great opportunity to compete on an attractive circuit in downtown Frankfurt. The U11 to U17 races complete their laps - more or less depending on the age group - on a circular course, with a length of 2.65 kilometers. The start and finish of the elite race is on the Bockenheimer Anlage at Opernplatz.
For Süwag, May 1 has been firmly linked to the sporting event for many years. Two goals of the energy service provider are combined here: the promotion of children and young people and regional commitment.
In 2024, the professionals of tomorrow were once again able to show what they can do. This year, four age groups took part in the race on the elite circuit (6.6 km) around the Alte Oper. The U17s, U15s, U13s and U11s completed their laps in glorious weather.
Sean Arnold from the Concordia Reute club came out on top in the U17 male category. Hannah-Franziska Brand from the RSV Rheinzabern e.V. club dominated the U17 female category.
After the U17 participants, the U15 youngsters also crossed the finish line. Tim Niklas Brehme (RSC Turbine Erfurt e.V.) and Frida Heim (RSG Frankfurt 1890 e.V.) emerged victorious here.
The U13s and U11s also rode their laps of the pro course before crossing the pro finish line. Clara Brendel (SC DHfK Leipzig e.V.) won the U13 race and Erik Dambacher (MSC Mithras Schwarzerden e.V.) dominated the youngest age group.
