In the days leading up to the race, XTERRA-certified coaches and elite athletes will host a series of no-pressure, community-driven sessions across the course. From open water swims in Grindstone Lake to high-altitude trail runs and technical mountain bike segments, these group sessions offer a rare opportunity to explore the terrain, ask questions and learn from those with deep experience in the sport.
Designed for all levels and open to all registered athletes, the Community Course Sessions are about more than just scouting lines and learning landmarks. They’re a way to connect with others, build confidence and soak in the spirit of XTERRA—together, on the trails, before the starting gun goes off.
