Join us on Saturday night at Hagg Lake for a campout the night before XTERRA Portland! 

More Camping Logistic Details:
Arrival Friday August 1st and departure Saturday August 2nd. For camping registration, make sure you add a vehicle (this includes the Hagg Lake Parking fee) and add the amount of individuals camping.  Check in for camping is during our packet pickup on Friday from 2pm - 4pm. And no worries if you arrive later, we will be on site at Bobcat cove for the rest of the evening to check you in.

Hagg Lake does not allow camping typically, but they are kind enough to allow XTERRA Portland to camp the night before our race. Please note, no camping is allowed on Thursday night or Saturday night, this is only for Friday night.

Purchasing Active Refund during registration is highly recommended.

There are NO REFUNDS on entry fees.

Participants may transfer themselves to another distance at the same venue (ex. Full to Sprint) or to another individual at https://myevents.active.com/xterra. Additional fees may be charged if there is a difference in price.

Is the bike course on-road or trail?
The majority of the bike course is on the trail around Hagg Lake.

Can I use a gravel bike?
For the XTERRA Portland Full Triathlon and the Duathlon a mountain bike is required, no gravel bike. For
the Super Sprint event, all bikes are welcome (except electric bikes), but note that the bike course is mostly
on trails.

Is the run leg on-road or trail?
The majority of the run course is on trails.

Do I need a wetsuit?
In years past, the water temp has been around or above 71 degrees.  Meaning, you are allowed to wear
a wetsuit but you don’t have to.  This year, with the high water levels and the cold spring, I imagine the
water will be a little cooler than in years past but we will not know until closer to the race. I would bet that
it will be warm enough to swim without a wetsuit.

I want to try the Super Sprint but I am nervous about the swim:
Our goal is to make the Super Sprint race as beginner-friendly as possible. Because of that, we have the swim
leg for the Super Sprint to follow the shoreline. If need be, at any time in the 200m swim, you can swim slightly
to the shore and touch. Also, you are welcome to use a life vest if you want.

My kid wants to do the Super Sprint and I feel like I should follow them:
Yes, you are more than welcome to follow your kid. When you pick up their packet, let us know and we
will give you a volunteer t-shirt to wear and you can follow your kid in the swim, bike, and run. Just don’t
follow them into the transition area, please. For youth 8-10 years old, a parent/guardian needs to be with them for the bike and run, and along the shoreline during the swim.

I have a younger kid that wants to do the Kids Splash Pedal Dash:
Great! This is my favorite event. There is no pre-registration for this event. Raceday registration for this
will be at the registration table beginning around 11am. Remember,
helmets are required.

Can I do a relay?
Yes, relays are welcome and encouraged in all races.

Can I register on race day?
Yes. And you can also register on site on Saturday during the Saturday packet pickup. Last year there was a long line for those registering the morning of the race, so please help us out and register online or during Saturday's packet pick up if possible.

Can I camp at Hagg Lake the night before the race?
Yes. When you register you can add on the camping fee. And if you have already registered, just go
back to our registration page and you can add it on.

Do I have to get a parking pass at the Kiosk as I enter Hagg Lake Recreation area?
We highly suggest paying for the parking pass as you enter the Hagg Lake area. There are also pay
kiosks at the nearby Boat Ramp C where you can purchase your parking pass on the day of the race.

Is there a time cutoff for the race?
Yes, there is a cut off at 1:30 pm.  Any athlete still on the course will be allowed to continue with the understanding that there will be no support on the race course after 1:30 pm and they will not receive an official time.

Will there be bike support the morning of the race?
Yes, our good friends at Sellwood Cyle Repair will the on site on Sunday morning before and during the race. New and Used Bicycles, Service, and Repair in Portland, Oregon – Sellwood Cycle Repair

Our race is at Bobcat Cove, but our parking is at Boat Ramp C.  As you enter Hagg Lake, follow signs to Boat Ramp C and our volunteers will show you where to park.  We must all park in the grass parking lot at Boat Ramp C, do not park in any of the paved parking areas.  It is an easy walk from the parking area to our race venue.  DO NOT PARK AT BOBCAT COVE or drive in that area to drop items off.

Yes! We always need volunteer help. There are multiple volunteer options.
