It is an Off-Road / Cross Triathlon. Its specificity is that the bike and run courses lead mostly in terrain and we try to avoid paved asphalt roads as much as possible. However, this does not mean that XTERRA is extremely difficult, we would rather say it is extremely fun.

It depends on your fitness, sports background and courage.

• The Full Distance race is the foundation and the biggest challenge.

• If you are fit but have never done a triathlon - we recommend the Sprint Distance race.

• If you want to have fun and still experience a challenge, the Super Sprint race is for you, which anyone can handle.

You can sign up for any race, all our races are open to the general public.

Relays at an XTERRA race are either 2 or 3 person teams. Put together a group where everyone performs one discipline. You then pass the chip in the transition area and the next person continues.

Example: Lucka is a good swimmer, she starts the race with swimming. Michal is cycling - he waits for Lucka in the transition area and she hands him the chip and he goes cycling. The last one in the group is Franta, who sometimes runs. He is in charge of the last part - running. Michal, after completing the cycling part, comes back to the transition area and hands the chip to Franta, who then runs to the finish line. The relay is then announced together.

Unless otherwise specified, XTERRA is always ridden on a mountain bike (MTB) with flat handlebars. This requirement is mainly due to safety reasons, as the course contains technical sections and terrain that is not suitable for gravel bikes.

XTERRA Slovakia follows the wetsuit rules of Slovak Triathlon Union. You can find them here: https://www.triathlon.sk/o-nas/smernice-a-dokumenty/pravidla

• Competitors aged 14-15 fall into the Youth A category and complete the Super Sprint race
