The 20th annual XTERRA South Africa off-road triathlon is an epic off-road experience on the iconic Grabouw trails of Elgin Valley. Choose an event to suit your fitness and skill level- from the full flavour XTERRA Full distance for the ardent athlete, to the less technical, shorter XTERRA Sprint distance for newcomers. New for 2026 is the Run/Bike/Run Duathlon for those who prefer not to swim.
