A big surprise: After 25 years of XTERRA there will be changing venues for the XTERRA World Championships in the future. The until now absolutely non-negotiable fact that the XTERRA World Championships take place annually on Maui/Hawaii,

Local hero Pana­gi­o­tis Bita­dos ensured with a top per­for­mance that the vic­to­ry stays in Greece. Jens Roth returned impres­sive­ly to the top ten of the Euro­pean XTERRA elite with 2nd place. 3rd place went to the Ital­ian Fred­eri­co Spinazze. For Jin­driska Zemano­va, who comes from the Bohemi­an For­est, it was […]

At the week­end, the deci­sion was made at the ETU Euro­pean Cross Triathlon Cham­pi­onship anal­o­gous to the XTERRA Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship: Arthur Ser­ri­eres, San­dra Mairhofer won the XTERRA Trenti­no and thus secured the title of dou­ble – Euro­pean cham­pi­on! With the 14th vic­to­ry of his career at an XTERRA race Ser­ri­eres […]

Yes! We can still do it. With a brilliant XTERRA Germany 2021, THE event of the region has returned to the big stage of Europe's top-class XTERRA competitions. No, that's no exaggeration!

The favourites pre­vail at the XTERRA Euro­pean Cham­pi­onships at the Olber­dor­fer See in the nature park Zit­tauer Gebirge. After his vic­to­ry in 2019 at the XTERRA Ger­many at O-SEE, Arthur Ser­ri­eres repeat­ed his tri­umph at the same place. And again, thanks to a strong run­ning per­for­mance, he was able to […]

Dear ath­letes and hob­by ath­letes, dear kids! With big steps we are approach­ing the O-SEE Chal­lenge 2021 includ­ing the XTERRA Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship 2021. The antic­i­pa­tion for the event is grow­ing every day and the excite­ment is ris­ing accord­ing­ly. After all, the “O-SEE” is one of the few triathlon events that […]

The orga­niz­ing team of the O-SEE Chal­lenge met this week to dis­cuss the cur­rent state of prepa­ra­tions and to agree on the tasks for the remain­ing 6 weeks until the com­pe­ti­tion week­end. Of course, the prepa­ra­tion is sig­nif­i­cant­ly influ­enced by the gen­er­al Coro­na pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tion and the result­ing hygiene con­cept. […]

This week­end XTERRA CZ starts in Prachat­ice and with it the first race of the XTERRA Europe series. So far, can­cel­la­tions and post­pone­ments deter­mined the sched­ule of the XTERRA Cross Triathlon races and now it final­ly comes to the long-await­ed first show­down. In the men’s race Jens Roth (GER) is […]

Yes – the XTERRA Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship 2021 with the XTERRA Short Track Race and the O-SEE Chal­lenge with O-SEE X´Kids will def­i­nite­ly take place. That is the good news. And – no, this is not bad news, but anoth­er piece of “good news”: The O-SEE Chal­lenge will take place with […]

Due to the risk of non-par­tic­i­pa­tion or can­cel­la­tion of the event due to the pan­dem­ic, all ath­letes had ini­tial­ly only reg­is­tered for a wait­ing list. As of 1.6.2021, all ath­letes who have reg­is­tered so far will now receive a pay­ment request with the pay­ment options to the email address you […]

After the world­wide XTERRA race series was com­plete­ly can­celled last year due to the pan­dem­ic, except for XTERRA Czech, the orga­niz­ers and tour man­agers were still opti­mistic for 2021 at the begin­ning of the year. How­ev­er, the real­i­ty of deal­ing with the pan­dem­ic shows that we are still far from […]

On Mon­day, March 1, the online reg­is­tra­tion for XTERRA Ger­many 2021 and the O-SEE Chal­lenge 2021 was “armed”. With­in the first 24 hours more than 100 ath­letes had reg­is­tered. A new record in the more than 20-year his­to­ry of the event. Chief orga­niz­er Klaus “Ben­no” Schwa­ger and his team were […]

We wish all ath­letes, all part­ners and spon­sors, all vol­un­teers and sup­port­ers – all loy­al fans of XTERRA – a reflec­tive Christ­mas sea­son. The year 2020, with its ups and downs, has pro­vid­ed a lot of excite­ment and has shown us, as well as many oth­ers, that not every­thing can […]

Both the new com­pe­ti­tion for­mat XTERRA Short Track and the “real” XTERRA Czech had the same win­ners on the podi­um: Arthur Ser­ri­eres (FRA) and Lau­ra Philipp (GER). Which means noth­ing else than that both ath­letes are good sprint­ers, good tech­ni­cians and con­di­tion spe­cial­ists in equal mea­sure. Max­im Chane was still […]

The first “real” XTERRA race of the 2020 sea­son in Europe took place in France at the week­end, and it was a pre­miere event that received this hon­our. The XTERRA Nou­velle-Aqui­tane passed this tri­al by fire with about 350 par­tic­i­pants from 10 nations. How­ev­er with­out Ger­man par­tic­i­pa­tion. The dom­i­nance of […]

In reference to the decision of the Federal Government made on April 15th 2020 to prohibit major sport events until end of August 2020 due to the corona pandemic, we, the organisation team of the host association O-SEE Sports e.V., must announce the cancellation of the O-SEE Challenge 2020 as well as the XTERRA European Championship 2020.

Dear sport friends and fans of XTERRA Ger­many, What is hap­pen­ing in the present time is an unprece­dent­ed sit­u­a­tion, a sit­u­a­tion that presents us with great chal­lenges.  We must part­ly rede­fine life’s pur­pose and pri­or­i­ties. The beloved sport, train­ing goals, par­tic­i­pa­tion in com­pe­ti­tions or sim­ply spend­ing free time with friends […]

Nearly a quarter century ago, on the Hawaiian island of Maui, a group of audacious adventure athletes created the ultimate endurance test.

We all look for­ward to the upcom­ing sea­son. Also in 2020 the XTERRA Euro­pean Tour will offer a mix of already estab­lished events as well as brand-new ones – span­ning the whole con­ti­nent. As usu­al the sea­son kick­es off in April with races in south-east­ern Europe. XTERRA Mal­ta starts the […]

20 years O-SEE Challenge! Celebrate with us the 20-year success story of a special event of our region. A story that fascinates and encourages at the same time.

The men’s race start­ed as usu­al: Jens Roth (DEU) led after the 1.5km swim and there was a good chance that the Ger­man would con­tin­ue his run, which had been going on since the XTERRA Ger­many, and pos­si­bly crown it with a vic­to­ry. But that was unfor­tu­nate­ly not grant­ed to […]

At the pre­miere of the XTERRA Lux­em­bourg the Czech Hele­na Karasko­va was once again suc­cess­ful. After the swim she was in 5th place and advanced in her usu­al man­ner to 2nd place. Only the French Alizee Paties was able to stand up to her. How­ev­er, Hele­na Karasko­va is also a […]

Arthur Ser­ri­eres (FRA) secured the vic­to­ry with a strong run­ning per­for­mance in front of the Ger­man Jens Roth, who was lead­ing up to T2 and showed an out­stand­ing per­for­mance on this day. It was to be expect­ed that he would lead after the swim, because Jens is one of the […]

Anoth­er dou­ble vic­to­ry for France and that with a very large start­ing field – the biggest of this year’s tour. The old cham­pi­on Ruben Ruzafa (ESP) led togeth­er with the world cham­pi­on Bradley Weiss (RSA) for a long time and it almost looked like a vic­to­ry for Ruzafa. But then […]

The old cham­pi­on Ruben Ruzafa (ESP) starts after a long absence at XTERRA events this sea­son a furi­ous race to catch up in the XTER­AR Euro­pean Tour rank­ing: After 3rd place at the XTERRA France now the first vic­to­ry this year at the XTERRA Italy – Scan­no. Xavier Daf­flon from […]

France took 1st and 2nd place in both the men’s and women’s cat­e­gories in the biggest race of the Euro­pean Tour. Only Ruben Ruzafa (ESP) and Hele­na Karasko­va (CZE) were able to hold their own against the dom­i­nance of the French on the podi­um with 3rd place. Best Ger­mans: Peter […]

Dou­ble vic­to­ry for France at XTERRA Switzer­land! The dom­i­nance of French cross­triath­letes in 2019 is impres­sive. In the men’s sin­gles alone, 6 French­men have made it into the top ten. In the women’s event, 3 of the 6 elite starters start­ed from the Grande Nation. For­risi­er is in impres­sive shape […]

The Bel­gian won with only 11 sec­onds ahead of Peter Lehmann (GER), who gave an excel­lent per­for­mance in Aarhus. 3rd place went to Jens Nielsen from Den­mark. With the women one can only say: Hele­na is back. With a strong MTB per­for­mance she more than made up for the 4 […]

It was a home win for Yer­ay Lux­em. The like­able Bel­gian knows the race very well, he is one of the fathers of XTERRA Bel­gium. He was par­tic­u­lar­ly involved in the devel­op­ment of the MTB tracks around the Namur citadel. That obvi­ous­ly helped him now, because the out­stand­ing MTB time […]

The win­ners of the first race of the XTERRA World Tour 2020 have been announced. The 2017 World Cham­pi­on and last year’s win­ner of Grabouw Bradley Weiss (SA) con­tin­ues his series at the West­ern Cape and demon­strates imme­di­ate­ly that he can be expect­ed again in 2019.  Haley Preen (SA) won […]

After the part­ner events France 2017 and Bel­gium 2018, the O-SEE del­e­ga­tion will go to the XTERRA pre­miere in the Nether­lands in 2019. While the O-SEE Chal­lenge is already of age and cel­e­brates its 20th anniver­sary next year, the Dutch are break­ing new ground in Ame­land. On 14.09.19 the start­ing […]

The off­sea­son is over! Soon it gets hot again in the cross­triathlon scene. On Feb­ru­ary 24, 2019, the XTERRA World Tour 2019 will start in Grabouw, South Africa, not far from Cape Town. The race in South Africa is one of the tra­di­tion­al races that took place in 2004 for […]

The 2019 XTERRA European Tour schedule reads like a trail map to adventure. From Akamas Beach in April to Ameland Island in September and 13 one-of-a-kind places in-between, there is no better way to explore Europe than with a pair of trail running shoes and a mountain bike. Live. More.

The XTERRA Ger­many should not be miss­ing on your Buck­et List 2019! From 17.12.18 the reg­is­tra­tion por­tals for the XTERRA Ger­many 2019, O-SEE Chal­lenge, Ger­man Cham­pi­onship DTU in Cross-Triathlon 2019 and the O-SEE X’KIDS Chal­lenge open.

The 2018 XER­RA World Cham­pi­onship at Maui/Hawaii has been his­to­ry since 28.10.2018. In the end, Rom Aker­son from Cos­ta Rica and Les­ley Pater­son from Scot­land won the World Cham­pi­onship title in the tough­est off-road con­di­tions. The deci­sion for the men was pret­ty close. In the end, how­ev­er, last year’s win­ner […]

Tra­di­tion­al­ly 14 days after the Iron­man, the cross ver­sion of the Hawaii triathlon myth will start on Octo­ber 28th on the neigh­bour­ing island of Maui. Over 800 ath­letes are on the starter list. In 40 XTERRA qual­i­fy­ing races world­wide, these ath­letes have qual­i­fied for the high­est qual­i­ty XTERRA race in the world, […]

In the last race of this year’s Euro­pean Tour Roger Ser­ra­no showed again that he is a fight­er and that he took the vic­to­ry from New Zealan­der Sam Osborn on the final 497 steps from the beach to the fin­ish and even ran out almost 2 min­utes ahead. 3 weeks […]

With this vic­to­ry the most active ath­lete of the XTERRA Euro­pean Tour made the pre­ma­ture title win as Tour­cham­pi­on per­fect, the lead is so big that the out­come of the last race is com­plete­ly irrel­e­vant. Anoth­er nov­el­ty, at this race the dain­ty Aus­tri­an placed the best swim, bike and run­ning […]

A week ago both were on the podi­um at the XTERRA Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship in Zit­tau…. The Swiss Daf­flon, a bril­liant bik­er, was deter­mined to win the elite field in the far north. Peter Lehmann (GER) stayed close to him, but could not real­ly become dan­ger­ous dur­ing the final trail run. […]

It’s the sec­ond year in a row Weiss and Poor have claimed the Euro­pean titles (last year they did at XTERRA Den­mark).  For Weiss, the reign­ing XTERRA World, Asia-Pacif­ic, and Euro­pean Cham­pi­on, the vic­to­ry is his sec­ond in as many weeks and fourth on the year.  For Poor, the win […]

First, the bad news: All com­pe­ti­tions for Sat­ur­day (XTERRA, O-SEE Clas­sic, O-SEE Team, O-SEE Reduced) are ful­ly booked. Places can only be real­lo­cat­ed on site by can­cel­la­tion. The odds are slim. We there­fore advise against a long jour­ney if there is no safe start­ing place con­fir­ma­tion. Now the good news: […]

With his vic­to­ry at the XTERRA Poland (his first race of the Euro­pean series), the reign­ing world cham­pi­on is work­ing his way up to the top ten of the Euro­pean series, thus putting him­self in posi­tion for the XTERRA EM next week­end. Hele­na Karasko­va (CZ) under­lines her title ambi­tions at […]

It is the favourite race of the Spaniard Ser­ra­no, already because of the many small cosy restau­rants in the old town of the Abruz­zo town Scan­no. And the MTB course suits him. How­ev­er, he had not expect­ed that the Swiss Xavier Daf­flon with the fastest bike time would almost con­test […]

The 33-year-old Spaniard Ruzafa is cur­rent­ly in impres­sive form. Short­ly after win­ning the ITU World Cham­pi­onship on Tues­day, he wins the tech­ni­cal­ly demand­ing XTERRA Czech, and quite impres­sive­ly. Already after the swim split it was obvi­ous that the Spaniard worked a lot on this dis­ci­pline, his gap to the top […]

The Spaniard Ruzafa is prob­a­bly unbeat­able on this course. In the best con­di­tions he rel­e­gat­ed Arthur For­risi­er (FRA) and Bradley Weiss (RSA) to the ranks with a bril­liant demon­stra­tion on the bike. It is now the 5th vic­to­ry in a row… For the reign­ing XTERRA World Cham­pi­on Weiss it was […]

Since 2017, the orga­niz­er club O-SEE Sports selects an event of the XTERRA Euro­pean Tour as part­ner event of the year. This year, XTERRA Bel­gium was cho­sen. Rea­son for the ORGTEAM boss of the XTERRA Ger­many Ben­no to con­duct a short inter­view with Flo­ri­an of the XTERRA Bel­gium team before […]

Only 19 weeks left til the XTERRA Ger­many and Xterra Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship 2018. The reg­is­tra­tion is already filled with more than 400 ath­letes. A range of XTERRA Elite ath­letes just like Brigit­ta Poor, Max­im Chane, Ruben Ruzafa, Roger Ser­ra­no (both ESP), Xavier Daf­flon (SUI) will com­pete. As well as last […]
