This year’s XTERRA: Conquer the Crater Off-road Triathlon, JULY 19 – 20, 2025.

Given the unique setting of Kivi Park with two distinct transition zones, the race has a natural tendency to ensure social distancing, and based on volume we will determine appropriate wave starts closer to the event date. This year we have also implemented a participant-triggered pricing structure, with an increase every 50 registered athletes; so make sure to get in early to take advantage of the best prices of the year.
