Some of you just don’t swim, and that’s o.k. The XTERRA Duathlon is the equivalent of the XTERRA Sport competition with a run replacing the 750 meter swim. Competitors start with a 3k off-road trail run, follow with a 15k mountain bike, and finish with a 5k run.
XTERRA Collegiate
Any collegian with a current photo ID can race for their school as an individual and get a break on Championship distance registration fees, and whenever there are three athletes from two or more schools entered they’ll race against each other for school pride in the college team division. There are no age groups in the college division – just male and female.
