THIS IS XTERRA

The typical distances are a 1.5k swim, 30k mountain bike, and 10k trail run. Courses are designed to have top pros finish in roughly two-and-a-half hours. Generally the swim comprises 10% of the total time it takes to finish the race, the mountain bike 65%, and the run 25%.

HOW THE SERIES WORKS

How old you are on December 31, 2017 determines your age group. We have divisions for men and women 15‐19, 20‐24, 25‐29, 30‐34, 35‐39, 40‐44, 45‐49, 50‐54, 55‐59, 60‐64, 65‐69, 70‐74, 75‐79 (m), 80+ (m), and Physically Challenged.

At the discretion of the race director athletes with an XTERRA age under 15 may participate, but they will not earn points.

2017 XTERRA EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP

It is not necessary to qualify, nor be European, to race at the XTERRA European Championship, which will double as the XTERRA Denmark Championship on September 3 at Mons Klint. This is a one day award as opposed to the Tour Championship which counts all races. In Denmark, the top overall finisher, regardless of nationality, in each age group will be honored as the XTERRA European Champion. The top Danish finisher in each age group will be named the XTERRA Denmark Champion.
