What: XTERRA Sardinia

When: October 15-16 2022

Where: Castidias, South Sardegna, Italy

 

The return of XTERRA to the beautiful Sardinian lands will give you the opportunity to live a unique experience, discovering landscapes, local traditions, and folklore. This location is famous for its tourist predisposition, and it is a reference destination for summer stays. It will be a fantastic opportunity to close the XTERRA season surrounded by a sporty and festive environment shared with friends and family. The small town of Castiadas is about 50 km from Cagliari airport, and it is located between the towns of Villasimius and Costa Rei. The beating heart of the event is the "GARDEN BEACH RESORT" (www.hotelgardenbeach.it). It will be a weekend full of sporting and non-sporting events.

The main event will be the Long-Distance race on Sunday, which will be accompanied by the Sprint and Cross distance races on Saturday. 
The Long-distance race is offered particularly to Gravel bike enthusiasts, who will be included in a special ranking. An Open Swim Water competition is scheduled on Sunday too, and during the weekend there will be moments of celebration and extra sporting activities. The SWIM section will take place in the crystalline waters of Cala Sinzias beach, the cycling route will develop between the beach and Castiadas State Forest, one of the largest and best preserved in Sardinia. The RUN section will pass through the endless and enchanting beaches between Cala Sinzias, Monte Turno and Sant’Elmo.

The month of October is one of the best times of the year to enjoy Sardinia thanks to the mild climate and the excellent temperatures of both the sea and the air.

26 slots for the 2023 World Final will be made available in the Long-Distance race, with an extra Slot for every 10 subscribers per category.
