You will start with jump from the pier. After one 200 meter long triangle loop you will have to run 300 meters to the transition area.
Onle longer loop will be technical easier than Friday’s main ShortTrack course. You can expect longer climbs, more space to pass someone slower, but you will also have to show your technical skills.
Run loop starts with flat passage on the grass, middle passage will be more technical with one narrow bridge. Last 300 meters to the finish line will be real spint on the tarmac surface.
In the FINAL A will start top 20 registred athletes ranked in XTERRA WORLD RANKING on 19th August 2020. Another 5 fastest competitors from qualification will complete the FINAL A startlist. Another 25 men and women from qualification (6th-30th in qualification results) will start in FINAL B.
Two very short laps, each 200 meters. After first lap, there is just short run out of the water and jump from pier back to the water. There is a great chance to see the swimmers for the whole swim leg of the race.
It is short, twisty, super-technical course around the lake. Rockgardens, jumps, ramps, cyclocross style uphill, drops, ford and many and many of other interesting spots on the race course. After each lap the competitors will ride through the race center full of fans.
This short lap will be very fast in the first half, but very technical in the second half. The whole SHORTTRACK course is in the same small location, this is why we are expecting thousands of fans around the course! After each lap athletes will run through the race center.
