WHAT:  XTERRA Netherlands

WHEN:  September 11-12, 2021

WHERE: Ameland, Netherlands

During XTERRA NETHERLANDS, the Wadden Island of Ameland is the beautiful backdrop for the ultimate battle with the islander elements; swimming in the Wadden Sea, mountain biking and walking through woods, dunes and on the treacherous beach. A sporting challenge for all ages and all levels in the middle of Unesco World Heritage. The beautiful (sports) experience starts during the crossing from Holwerd on the Frisian mainland and ends with an unforgettable finish on the XTERRA stage on Ameland.

The unique atmosphere of XTERRA NETHERLANDS fits in perfectly with the character of the hospitable family island where (top) sports experience goes hand in hand with beautiful nature experience. The organization and implementation of the event is largely supported by residents and enthusiasts of Ameland.

The cross triathlon on Ameland has grown into one of the most important races in the Netherlands and has also contributed internationally to the promotion of this off-road variant of triathlon sport. In the past, Ameland hosted the Dutch Cross Triathlon Championship several times under the name Tri-Ambla, and in 2008 even the 2nd European Cross Triathlon Championship.

XTERRA NETHERLANDS is also part of the XTERRA Benelux Challenge with the competitions on June 12 in Namur (Belgium), on July 31 in Rosport (Luxembourg) and on September 11 on Ameland (Netherlands). Starting places for the XTERRA World Championship on Maui (Hawaii) can be earned in each individual race, but the winners of the Benelux Challenge can also claim these slots.
Registration is possible until September 1 or until the maximum number of participants has been reached.

CHANGE CLOTHES

Prior to the event, the children can change in the party room next to the swimming pool. When the children come out of the pool, they must walk to their clothing via the indicated route.

The clothing can also be placed with the bicycle, but this should not hinder other participants.

NB If there are children who also change shoes after cycling, make sure that the running shoes in switch zone T2 are on your numbered spot! You have to take care of this yourself.

Parents are NOT allowed to enter the transition zone. Follow the instructions of the volunteers.

  • XTERRA NETHERLANDS Junior XS
  • XTERRA NETHERLANDS Junior S
  • Route for parents / supervisors from T1 to T2 / Finish

The route is marked with Yellow Route signs.


SWIMMING

During the competition briefing, the classification of the starting series will be announced and in which order and in which course the start will be made. This classification can be viewed on the website in advance. The children are in a job with a number of them. So take each other into account. Try to swim as much as possible after each other, so keep both the way there and the way to the right (then you swim as it were a kind of ’round’ within your lane). Swimming on the back is not allowed! You can use this to hinder other children. The Junior XS participants must be in the pool at 09:55, Junior S participants must be in the pool at 10:15 and can wait here at the children’s pool until the other starter series are ready.

BICYCLES

Everyone is obliged to wear a bicycle helmet during the race. This can be placed with clothing or with the bicycle. The bike must be placed before the start in the transition zone (change zone T1) at the indicated numbered places. Remember where you park your bike, and check your steering number on departure, so that you don’t take someone’s else’s bike. In the transition zone T2 at the finish the places are not numbered (follow the instructions of the supervisors).

If you do not have a good or reliable bicycle yourself, you can borrow one for free at Fietsverhuur Metz. Register for this via info [at] xterra-netherlands.nl, and include your height. Please note that these are rental bikes with 3 gears and no racing bikes. On the race day, or the day before, you can your pick up your bike at bike rental Metz (strandweg 37, Buren Ameland). This is close to Klein Vaarwater (± 400 m.). The bicycle must also be returned here. The transition zone T1 where the bicycles will be located is at the rear of Klein Vaarwater. Remember where you park your own bike.


RUNNING

The participants of the Junior XS (8+ & 10+) run 1 lap of 1.25 km. The participants of Junior S (12+ & 14+) run 1 lap of 2.5 km. The first part of the running round is the same for XS and S. In the Vleijen is a junction; S right and XS left. This is indicated by a sign and here the children also have to think for themselves. Both routes come together again later.


FINISH

Like all athletes participating in the XTERRA NETHERLANDS, the RABOBANK XTERRA JUNIOR will also finish on the site (T2 / XTERRA Village) behind Camping Kiekduun.

FOR THE PARENTS

Of course you want to help and assist your child as much as possible in this wonderful competition.

You can also help your child get dressed in the party room, but be careful not to obstruct any other children! Follow the instructions of the volunteers.

You may not enter the transition zone.

After swimming, you naturally want to go to transition zone T2, the finish area, as quickly as possible. To ensure that everything runs as safely and honestly as possible, we would ask you NOT to cycle with your child.

  • If you do this, your child will be disqualified!

 The change zone T2 is 200m from Klein Vaarwater. You will be on time to see your child switch from cycling to walking again.

Swimwear can be taken immediately. If you are in a hurry to stop thinking about it, the Klein Vaarwater party room will remain open all afternoon.

TIME REGISTRATION

For the registration of swimming, cycling and running times we use REGISTRATION Racetimer / Chronotrack time tracking system. Every participant is obliged to wear the (rental) transponder on the ankle. Required ankle straps are supplied with the transponder.

The (rental) transponder for time registration is issued when the participation package is collected from the race officet.

 

The transponder must be returned to the organization after the finish. If the transponder is lost or not returned, an amount of € 50.00 will be collected.

The MTBs have to be picked up and returned at Bike Rental Metz in Buren.


TRAINING

Preparatory training sessions are organized in collaboration with the schools on Ameland. This is a wonderful promotion of the sports offer on Ameland and an incentive for children to discover and develop their endurance sports talents. Of course you can also train if you are not in a school on Ameland.
