Back to Series Page
Moving to the 3rd stop in the series, Oak Mountain returns for another wild ride to Blood Rock. It’s a fast and flowing course with so many twists and turns through the deep forest trails that seeing who is just ahead or just behind is a challenge in itself. This is a course that requires taking risks without taking a foot off the gas, and comes with 2 high-intensity races in a single weekend.

Full Distance Results

Felix Forissier and Sandra Mairhofer Win Oak Mountain Full Distance

No mistakes this time. Felix Forissier has stamped his name firmly on the Full Distance race in Oak Mountain, bagging the 100 series points to extend his lead at the top of the pile. Riding to the front of the race and heading into the final section in the lead, the Frenchman then laid down the fastest run of the day to catch some well-earned breathing room at the top of the leaderboard.

Defending World Cup Champion Arthur Serrières crossed just 50 seconds behind his on-course rival to now move up into 5th position in the overall rankings, while Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen’s return to the podium in 3rd sees him move up into 2nd place.

Sandra Mairhofer will have a lot to celebrate after a convincing win in the women’s race. The Italian put her renowned bike skills to work, opening up a large gap as she led into the final 11K. Despite a late surge from the reigning World Champ that would see the gap close by over a minute, Mairhofer was never in danger of losing the lead, claiming the 100 series points to move into 5th place in the series.

Solenne Billouin’s 2nd place finish is more than enough the French athlete to hold on to the series lead and the golden cap for tomorrow’s Short Track race, while Alizée Paties’s 3rd place sees her now stand alone in 2nd after coming into stop #3 in a tied 2nd place with Czech’s Aneta Grabmüller.

Tomorrow the battles continue in the fast-paced Short Track race, where a max 75 points could see even more changes in the overall rankings as the 2024 World Cup series nears the half way mark.

Short Track Results

Times, splits and points from the first Short Track race of the series.

Billouin and Serrières Win Stop #3 Short Track

After riding a large section of the bike course on a flat tire yesterday, Solenne Billouin has finally shaken the curse of the mechanical in Oak Mountain, laying down a strong performance in the Short Track to extend her lead at the top of the leaderboard. The World Champ walks away with the increased 75 points to create a comfortable gap between her and the rest of the field ahead of stop #4 in Belgium.

Aneta Grabmüller’s lightning-fast swim and strong bike performance saw her lead into the final section, with only the World Champ able to run her down. Grabmüller’s 2nd place finish sees her move within 13 points of Alizée Paties who holds her place in the rankings after finishing 3rd.

Arthur Serrières broke the tape for the first time this year, defending his Short Track title in Oak Mountain to show some serious intent in the series. The reigning World Cup Champion chose not to race Taiwan in favour of a longer training, but after taking 3rd in Greece, 2nd in the Full Distance yesterday, and 1st in the Short Track, he is now back on track to contend for overall win in the series.

Felix Forissier closed out in 2nd to keep his position at the top, while Arthur Forissier’s 3rd place finish sees him move back up to 2nd on the leaderboard, but only with a slim 3 points separating him and Denmark’s Jens Emil Sloth Nielsen in 3rd.

WORLD CUP Series Info

The XTERRA World Cup is the world's premier off-road triathlon pro series, where the sport’s top elites go head-to-head in a condensed circuit of Full Distance and Short Track races. A points-based battle where every turn, climb, and descent matters, each race is a fight for a share of the series prize purse and the pursuit of becoming the next XTERRA World Cup Champion.

The 2026 World Cup features seven stops and eleven races across Oceania, Europe, North America, and Asia. The Joker Rule returns, giving each athlete one Full Distance joker and one Short Track joker to help manage the demands of global travel and reduce the impact of mechanicals. Each race awards points to the top 30 finishers, with a standard Full Distance win earning 100 points and Short Track awarding 75. Stakes rise at the biggest events, with Regional Championships offering 1.2x more points and the series finale offering 1.5x.

In 2026, the series finishes on fresh terrain in Suzhou, China, where Pan Men Square becomes a city-centre stage for the final Short Track showdown before the Full Distance battle around Lake Taihu closes out the season and crowns the next XTERRA World Cup Champions.
