The world’s premier off-road triathlon event is back again in Cebu for the third time on a new and more challenging race course to test athletes’ skills once more this 2014.
The Vaseline Men Xterra Off-road Triathlon Series will kick off this year with the Vaseline Men Xterra Championship on March 15 at Liloan, Cebu
The event features exhilarating trail run and triathlon races that will challenge even the most seasoned athletes. As of press time, there are over 300 registered participants, including elite world-class running champions.
The route will have slight changes, and will have two transition areas. Transition 1 will be at Seafront Beach Resort in Liloan, the starting area for the swim leg and transition to the bike leg. Transition 2 will be at Liloan Elementary School track oval, staging area for the end of the bike leg, start and finish line of the run leg, and the expo area.
The championship weekend in Cebu will start with two triathlon events on March 15: the Xterra Lite and the Xterra Philippines Championship.
