The race enables high quality performance comparison of the young racing drivers in the world competition and is a very effective advertisement for the Euroregion Elbe-Labe. The race attracts spectators from all over the country, from the border regions of Germany, as well as from other countries. The spectators form the spectator backdrop for the race and at the same time make use of the services of local traders, especially for overnight stays, meals and other offers. In this context, the race supports tourism, improving the economy of local traders and increasing the local standard of living. All expenses that are related to the budget of the Euroregion Elbe-Labe are paid to suppliers who do the accounting in our region. The deepening of the cooperation with other German partners (Friedensfahrtmuseum in Kleinmühlingen and important personalities of the German cycling sport) contribute in particular to increasing the sustainability of the project “Peace Ride of Juniors”. By including the important and well-known personalities of German and Czech cycling, the Euroregion is visually highlighted to a special extent.
