XTERRA short track is a short course race concept and debut in Czech Republic in 2019. An elite only event where athletes have to qualify during the full distance event or in a preliminary short track race to claim the best starting position in the final grid. The course is made up of a 2 lap 400m swim with an Australian exit, a very technical 4 lap 6km bike circuit littered with jumps, rock gardens, root infested single track and a couple of flat out pedalling sections. The run will then be contested over 2 laps using a slightly shortened course.
