World-class off-road triathlons are built on more than terrain. They’re built on connection. Every race is powered by people and places that turn a trail into a story, a competition into a celebration, and a venue into a lasting partnership.
In the UK, Loren Ward of Passion Fit Coaching and Always Aim High Events share how XTERRA Weston Park evolved from a local race into a high-energy stop on the XTERRA World Cup Series. In Sarawak, Robert Basiuk, Director at Borneo Adventure, works closely with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture Sarawak to deliver a course through rainforest-covered Mount Pueh, where cultural heritage and outdoor sport intersect in meaningful ways.
Meanwhile, Aljoša Vojnović with Highlander Adventure brings the vibrant culture of Mali Lošinj to life in Croatia, and Marni Sumbal helps shine a spotlight on Alabama’s Oak Mountain—home of the XTERRA North American Championship and the first-ever North American Youth Championship. Over in Colombia, Manuela Kapitány and Xportiva are setting up for the inaugural XTERRA South American Championship, while Pauline Vie reminds us that XTERRA Portugal is part of the cultural fabric of Golegã.
These events aren’t just weekend competitions—they are months (sometimes years) in the making, built in close collaboration with regional organizers, tourism boards, and fueled by passionate local leaders. It’s how XTERRA continues to grow globally while staying grounded in community, expanding global reach while staying rooted in local connection.
