2026 XTERRA Weston Park

On Friday and Saturday, XTERRA Certified coaches will lead a bike session on the race course. This is an unrivalled chance to explore the course with an expert coach and ask all those pre-race questions you might have ahead of the race day.

We'll also have an evening swim session in the lake with full water safety coverage on Friday evening.

All community sessions are free and available for all registered XTERRA Weston Park athletes.

What to bring:
Wetsuit, Trisuit and goggles for the swim
Bike and helmet for the bike

We’ve designed the bike course to cater for all abilities. Whilst the most advanced skills will be rewarded with speed, the course is very accessible and can be undertaken with basic technical skills.

The bike and run course will be marked and open from 10:00 on Friday for practice throughout the weekend.

We encourage you all to ride a practice lap so that you can get the most out of your race. There can be a lot of speed to be had if there are no surprises!

As always, please ensure you adhere to any instructions given to you by event marshals.

If you are practising on Saturday, please stay off the course between 11:00 and 14:00 as the sprint race will be taking place.

There is no access to the lake outside of the designated swim session on Friday at 17:00 and on race day.

The Lake has been throughourly tested for its quality, in the most recent test completed on the 13th of April 2026 by https://swim-safety.co.uk/ has recorded the water quality as 'Excellent'. The water will be tested again prior to the event.
