XTERRA Czech Republic 2025 European Cross Triathlon Championship
La Czech Republic is once again at the centre of attention in European cross-country triathlon.
Prachatice, a small municipality in the south of the country that is just 50 km from the border with Austria and Germany will be the setting for the 2025 European Triathlon and Duathlon Championships.
This place, home of the oldest XTERRA race on the global circuit (its beginnings date back to 2002), promises an environment full of charm thanks to its Renaissance historic center and proximity to Šumava National Park.
El mayor of the town, Jan Bauer, was enthusiastic about the appointment:
“For our town, XTERRA is one of the most important events of the year. We hope that all triathletes will enjoy their stay in our town to the fullest.”
Calendar: Duathlon on Thursday 7th and Triathlon on Saturday 9th August
The main event will be divided into two major events:
- Duathlon (August 7):
- 8 km running race divided into two laps.
- 22 km bike along a unique route that combines artificial trails and old forest paths.
- Final 4 km of running (one lap).

- 33 km of cycling on a point-to-point route crossing the Šumava National Park.

A doubly relevant event
