Race Categories & Fees

Championship Triathlon

1.5km Swim, 30km Cycle, 10km Run
This is the flagship event. The race course is crafted to give pro and age group triathletes competing in the Asia-Pacific Championship category a serious test.

Sprint Triathlon

750m Swim, 16km Cycle, 5km Run
This category of race gives participants access to  half of the distance of the Championship course minus the serious climbs and technical descents. This makes it ideal for the novice off-road triathlete and inexperienced Mountain Bike Rider who just wants to experience the fun of being in the forests and off-road without any of the seriously scary bits.

Championship Triathlon 2 or 3 Member Team Relay

1.5km Swim, 30km Cycle, 10km run.
This category runs on the same trails as the individual Championship Triathlon the only difference being that you and your team mates get to pick which bits you want to do e.g. swim, bike or run rather than have to do all three. We’ve yet to see a team of specialist come and give the pro’s a swim, ride & run for their money but we live in hope of this

Trail Runs – 5km

This trail gives participants the flavor of the Championship Course as it’s made up of various sections from the course that the Pro’s run on.

Trail Runs – 11km

The 11km trail run mirrors exactly as the 11km run in of the Championship Triathlon the only difference is that you won’t have to do it on tired legs unless you were a Triathlete and did it the previous day and are coming back for more because you just can’t get enough. You’d be amazed how many do!

Trail Runs – 21km

The 21km trail run mirrors almost exactly as the 11km run of the Championship Triathlon  but also includes a generous section of the bike course so you’ll be able to test your running skills with those of the Mountain Bikers and see first hand what they have to cycle up and down during the Championship Triathlon.

There will be a warning for not having your number on the front of your body, second infraction will be a 2 minute penalty. A 2-minute penalty will be assessed for losing your run number.

Lack of tape or barrier on the course will not be constituted as an excuse for cutting course.
    4. Outside assistance:
      Limited outside assistance is allowed from another athlete competing in the same event. No outside assistance is allowed from any person not competing or working in the same event. These include but are not limited to spectators, friends, family, photographers, police or marshals. Assistance is limited to tools, tubes or any item that would be used to repair a faulty part or damaged bicycle or water, food, or first aid.
      Changing bikes is not allowed.
      Example: a competing athlete is allowed to give another athlete a chain tool or link or a complete chain. A competing athlete can give another athlete a tire patch, tube or complete wheel. But an athlete cannot exchange bikes with another competitor so that the competitor with the broken bike can simply continue without fixing the break. Challenged Athletes: Challenged Athletes may be permitted a handler during the event. The athlete must identify their handler(s) to officials prior to the race start and describe their duties. These duties include helping with prosthetic devices, lifting athletes in/out of wheelchairs, removing wetsuits/clothing, repairing flats and other equipment.
    5. Conduct: Foul riding or running, unsportsmanlike behavior or the use of profane or abusive language is grounds for warning, relegation, disqualification or fine.
    6. Protests: Protests of any nature must be submitted within one hour of the finish time of the person lodging the protest. Protests must be submitted in writing and signed by the accuser. Saying somebody cut the course is not good enough– it must be written and described as accurately as possible.All protests will be investigated. Because of the nature of XTERRA, it is not always possible to see infractions. XTERRA is in the woods, out of sight and marshaled only where necessary. In every case there will need to be verification of the infraction. Officials will not be drawn into a “hear- say” argument.
    7. Penalties: Penalties will be determined by the severity of the infraction. The minimum penalty will always be 2 minutes. The maximum penalty will be disqualification from the results of the event and/or a loss of prize money.
    8. Cut-Off Times: There will be a cut-off time enforced at every XTERRA Regional Championship (XRC) Race. Cutoff will be at T2; the bike to run transition. All athletes must make entry to T2 within 4 hours of the start of the race. Where there are wave starts, the 4 hours will be measured from the last start of the race.In certain cases the head official may alter the cutoff time.International XTERRA events or XTERRA Points Series races may or may not include cutoff times. Each of these events will publicize a cut off time if one will be enforced.
