Together, We Explore

The XTERRA Trail Run World Series invites runners of all levels—from amateur to elite—to come together and uncover the world’s most scenic and challenging trails. From the tropical paths of the Asia-Pacific to Europe’s towering ridgelines and the sweeping desert landscapes of the USA, this series is a global journey for those who live to explore—one full or half marathon at a time.

Run Your Way

Built for runners of all backgrounds, the XTERRA Trail Run World Series features two accessible core distances—Trail Half and Trail Marathon. Whether you're chasing a personal best, soaking in the views, or simply joining the global trail running community, both formats offer equal adventure and an equal opportunity to earn your place at the Trail Run World Championship in your chosen distance.

Trail Half Marathon
Ranging from 15–35km, the Trail Half Marathon is ideal for runners stepping up in distance or seeking speed across varied terrain.
Trail Marathon
Spanning 36–54km, the Trail Marathon is crafted for experienced athletes in search of a deeper challenge and a true test of endurance.

Every race is a chance to experience new terrain, connect with the community, and—if you're ready—qualify for the Trail Run World Championship in the distance that suits you best.

Select races throughout the season are designated Gold or Silver status, offering deeper competition, more championship slots, and additional Trail Run World Series points—giving you more chances to qualify, compete, and explore.
