2010 XTERRA Whitewater Offroad Triathlon:

This race touts the most unique swim of the XTERRA America Tour. During XTERRA Whitewater, you will swim two bodies of water with an island traversing-run in-between. At this race, even the swim is off-road.

After your swim, you will mountain bike approximately 16 miles (two 8 mile laps) on the beautiful, yet tough, trails along the Cawtaba River. If you don't get enough of the scenery from your bike, don't worry, because you will head back out on the trails for a 5 mile run. Course info.

Relay Teams!! Don't want to tackle all three distances alone? Then grab two of your friends and form a 3-person relay team! One person does the swim, another does the bike and the last does the run.

How the XTERRA Points Series Works

This race is part of the XTERRA America Tour and offers the chance to race your way to nationals. Ogden, Utah will be the battleground for an exclusive field - the best age group athletes from each of XTERRA's eight regions. At the end of the race, newly crowned national champions will take the podium, and you could be one of them.

To find out if you've got what it takes to be a champion, read how it works.
