XTERRA Trail Run


Run Where the Wild Leads

Where the wild leads. We follow.

We move with the terrain, not against it. Through climbs that slow us down, descents that ask for trust, and paths that change with weather, season, and time. This is how we explore. Step by step, guided by the ground beneath our feet.

Run where the spirit takes you.

It’s the same off-road spirit that has always defined XTERRA. Unpolished. Grounded. Built around shared challenges in wild places. Less about splits. More about the moment. Less about comparison. All about connection.

This is trail running wide open.

We are many stories and many faces, spanning continents but running on common ground. From backyard paths to global peaks, no two runs are ever the same, yet every path is linked by the spirit of off-road adventure.

However you run, the wild is waiting.

Walk it. Jog it. Run it hard or take it slow. Come alone or with a crew. This is an open invitation to a community born to explore. There is no right speed. Just the adventure ahead. Let the wild lead.

Start Where You Are

Run local or make the next one global. From first timers to world champions, XTERRA Trail Run is a way to explore, progress, and belong, wherever the trail may take you.
