The centerpiece is the 37 km circuit of the MTB course through the Zittau Mountains Nature Park. Unlike the other XTERRA races, this is just one lap. This makes the MTB course more varied, but also more demanding in terms of fitness and technique. The final wooden 180° bend directly in Lake Olbersdorf is legendary.

Run: 10K

The running course is a two-lap course covering a total of 10 km in the immediate vicinity of the lake, peppered with numerous natural and artificial obstacles. The many spectators along the course create an indescribable atmosphere that gives athletes goose bumps, especially when they cross the finish arch, which is designed in the style of the region's typical half-timbered houses and is the landmark of the XTERRA O-SEE Challenge.
