Germany

The storm before the storm—Germany returns to the World Cup not only as a key stop but as the European Championship, setting the stage for the region's biggest race and the final Full Distance showdown before the XTERRA World Championship.

After a World Cup hiatus last year, Zittau is back—bigger and with even higher stakes. Celebrating 25 years of the XTERRA O-SEE Festival, this event marks a quarter-century of hosting the most fiercely contested race outside of Worlds. A return to a more traditional course style, the layout is built on fire roads, forest trails, and straightforward singletrack—a true test of endurance where strong lungs and powerful legs will decide the final standings before the series heads into its climactic final stop.

WORLD CUP Series Info

The XTERRA World Cup is the world's premier off-road triathlon pro series, where the sport’s top elites go head-to-head in a condensed circuit of Full Distance and Short Track races. A points-based battle where every turn, climb, and descent matters, each race is a fight for a share of the series prize purse and the pursuit of becoming the next XTERRA World Cup Champion.

‍

The 2025 World Cup will feature eight stops and 11 races across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. With no joker rule in play, every race counts toward the overall standings. Full Distance races award series points to the top 30 finishers, with the winner claiming 100 points. Short Track races are invitation-only, featuring the top 30 qualifiers, with the winner earning the maximum 75 points.

‍

The Short Track showdown in Trentino, Italy, will serve as the series finale, where the next XTERRA World Cup Champions will be crowned ahead of the 2025 XTERRA World Championship.
