Weston Park marked new territory for the XTERRA World Cup—its first-ever visit to the UK, and the debut of a venue defined by deceptive simplicity that set the stage for a start-to-finish test of control and speed.

Flat on paper but anything but forgiving, the debut course in Staffordshire called for precision and consistency as the best in the sport worked through an all-new challenge of chilly lake waters, narrow forest tracks, and winding grassland trails. Coming just a week after the heat and climbs of Greece, it was a complete shift in rhythm—rewarding those who could adapt quickly and stay smooth on a course that offered no respite.

Full Distance - Story of the Race

An all-new terrain for the pro series, blending speed and endurance with centuries of English history, as Weston Park became the latest destination to join the World Cup.
The calm before the chaos—rituals and release before the battles begin.
A new leader in the water for the men—Britain’s Rory Strachan set the pace with the fastest swim split of the day at 17:55.
A flurry of pink caps and churned water as the women’s field fights for early position.
Another one for the home crowd—Isla Hedley of Great Britain led out of the water with a swim split of 18:29.
The bike leg delivered some of the day’s best racing—packs formed, alliances shifted, and positions changed constantly across 37.5K of flat-out terrain.
Doing it faster than anyone else, Arthur Forissier clocked the fastest bike split of the day—1:28:40 to complete the loop as he worked his way to the front.
Once again dominant in her favoured discipline, Alizée Paties recorded the fastest bike split among the women—1:38:58—as she closed the gap to early leader Aneta Grabmüller.
A career-best performance from Great Britain’s Will Draper saw him leading the men’s race heading into the final discipline.
But nothing could stop Félix Forissier, who paced his race to perfection to claim back-to-back wins in the space of just seven days—first in Greece, then in the UK.
For Alizée Paties, it’s three in a row—back-to-back-to-back wins to maintain her perfect score and solidify her place at the top of the leaderboard after three stops.
Incredible efforts from the home-country athletes, with Isla Hedley earning her first World Cup podium behind Aneta Grabmüller in second place.
For the men, it was Will Draper who gave the home crowd plenty to scream for as he claimed his first World Cup podium with a second-place finish.
Arthur Forissier took the golden jersey for the first time in 2025, while Alizée Paties made it three in a row to remain the undisputed series leader.

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 2026 World Cup features seven stops and eleven races across Oceania, Europe, North America, and Asia. The Joker Rule returns, giving each athlete one Full Distance joker and one Short Track joker to help manage the demands of global travel and reduce the impact of mechanicals. Each race awards points to the top 30 finishers, with a standard Full Distance win earning 100 points and Short Track awarding 75. Stakes rise at the biggest events, with Regional Championships offering 1.2x more points and the series finale offering 1.5x.

In 2026, the series finishes on fresh terrain in Suzhou, China, where Pan Men Square becomes a city-centre stage for the final Short Track showdown before the Full Distance battle around Lake Taihu closes out the season and crowns the next XTERRA World Cup Champions.
