“We’re delighted to welcome 2XU to the XTERRA Family, they bring immense value to our brand and community,” said XTERRA World Tour president, Janet Clark. “What they’ve done in the compression space is remarkable, and who they are as people and a brand align synergistically with the XTERRA ethos to Live More and be your best.”
