Greece

Backing up its World Cup debut, Greece returns in 2025 with a fast and physical test through the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Vouliagmeni and the arid trails of South Hymettus. Touching down in its most competitive region, stop 2 of the off-road triathlon pro series features a course that’s as brutal as it is beautiful.

Greece is set to deliver a blockbuster World Cup event, with a Full Distance race and many of Europe’s top contenders kicking off their campaigns against one of the most picturesque backdrops on the circuit. Among them, reigning World Cup Champion Felix Forissier will be looking to make a strong start, while Alizée Paties aims to keep her perfect score intact as she leads the charge in the women’s field.

Athletes To Watch

Top contenders, local favorites and the full start list.

Arthur Forissier

FRA

Last year's XTERRA Greece winner, the older of the Forissier brothers gave a first glimpse of what he's capable of with a blistering run in Australia that missed the fastest split by a single second. He returns to Greece looking to make it two for two on this course.

Anna Zehnder

CHE

Returning to the course where she made her XTERRA debut with a third-place finish, the Swiss athlete now kicks off her 2025 World Cup campaign in Greece—with her eyes firmly set on another podium.

Federico Spinazze

ITA

A potential breakout athlete this season, Spinazzè impressed in Australia with a swim only Bonacina could match, and backed it up with strong bike and run splits. Expect to see the Italian pushing the pace early, with the rest left to follow.

Helena Karaskova Erbenova

CZE

A seasoned athlete with a background in cross-country skiing, the Czech veteran boasts multiple XTERRA podium finishes and a SwimRun World Championship title. Her experience and endurance make her a name to watch in Greece.

Bianca Morvillo

ITA

Morvillo’s versatility across triathlon, trail running, and mountain biking was on full display with a dominant win at XTERRA Switzerland and a strong second in France. Now entering the World Cup in Greece, her endurance and adaptability are key assets.

Alizee Paties

FRA

The 2023 World Cup winner has opened 2025 with a perfect score, claiming double victories in Australia to top the leaderboard. A return to form for the French athlete spells trouble for the rest of the field as they play catch-up in the rankings.

Felix Forissier

FRA

The defending World Cup champion opens his 2025 campaign in Greece, aiming to rectify last year’s misstep when a wrong turn near the finish handed victory to his brother. With a point to prove, the Frenchman starts the season with a touch of redemption.

Marta Menditto

ITA

After a second-place finish in Australia, Menditto will be looking to keep the momentum going. She finished in the top three overall in last year’s World Cup and looks strong to equal—or even better—that result this season.

Benjamin Forbes

AUS

Fresh off being crowned the new Asia-Pacific Champion, the Aussie now heads into the highly competitive European region for only the second time in his off-road triathlon career. He claimed the fastest bike split twice in Aus, but his toughest test is yet to come.

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.
