レースについて
XTERRA Czech Republic is an off-road triathlon weekend in Prachatice, South Bohemia, Czech Republic, featuring races built around swimming, mountain biking, and trail running. The main Full Distance race covers a 1.5 km swim, 33 km bike, and 10.5 km run. The Short Track version condenses the format into a 400 m swim, 7.2 km bike, and 2.2 km run. The program also offers sprint, super sprint, youth, kids, and trail-run options, catering to various athletes.
The Short Track race is the easiest to watch, being short, technical, and designed for quick transitions. The event is part of the XTERRA EMEA Tour, with results available from at least 2018. Recent fields have numbered in the low hundreds, not the scale of a giant-city marathon. A recent Full Distance edition had 272 participants. Conditions can be summery, with recent race data showing 28°C air and 20°C water. The leading athletes are swift: best recorded splits include a swim under 20 minutes, a bike leg slightly over 1 hour 16 minutes, and a run just over 42 minutes.
