WHAT: XTERRA Belgium
WHEN: 11 June 2022
WHERE: Namur
After the success of 2021, XTERRA Belgium 2022 will again be hosted at the autonomous Port of Beez. The area assures and permits the installation of high-level infrastructure.
The swimming will take place in the local river (La Meuse) with a departure and an arrival at the port. The mountain biking part of the course is a dynamic, sporty off-road course through wooded terrain.
The mountain bike route totals at 350m D + made of a clever mix of hills and fast descents. A lot of single tracks also with small technical portions as we like them. Fun and guaranteed for all!
The running is 100% off-road again this year. The circuit is drawn along the legendary cliffs of Marche-Les-Dames.
A fairly demanding course which includes, as with mountain biking, a few single tracks and sometimes steep paths.
XTERRA Belgium has always been one of the most popular events of the XTERRA circuit and intends to remain so thanks to this place which offers athletes a new track near the city.
2022 will also be the year of surprises and we are already announcing the arrival of DJ Jay Style to liven up the day and ... the evening of course.

WHAT TO DO IN NAMUR ?
Namur, Capital of Wallonia… Gateway to the Belgian Ardennes, a pearl born to the labour of love of the Sambre and the Meuse. Namur offers a rare and spectacular ambience, with its confluence right in the city centre overhung by a particularly impressive rocky spur.
Each season has its own charm; in its soul the city always remains warm and welcoming, its harmonious historic heart reveals its fine residences of the XVIIIth century, the Age of Enlightenment, whether you are walking in snow or sunshine. The peaceful atmosphere of the streets and alleys, even on very busy days, reflects the inhabitants taste for the art of good living! Welcome !!!
