The Go Skate Family Day marks the official kick-off of the Grenzland Cup 2026 (GLC). This year, the focus is on education, progression and encouraging rookies — together with their parents — to take part in multiple stops across this unique cross-border circuit. The GLC connects six locations across the region, one shared cup, creating a platform where young riders can grow, compete and connect. More info: www.grenzland-cup.com
CONCEPT
During the Go Skate Family Day, young riders (up to approx. 12 years) from all GLC locations come together with their families to get introduced to contest skating and improve their skills in a supportive environment. The day is designed as an accessible entry point into the GLC circuit, combining learning, fun and first contest experience. Each participant:
- joins one dedicated skate workshop
- can practice freely in between sessions
- can explore other street culture workshops such as freerunning, BMX, breaking and graffiti
