ABOUT THE SHORTTRACK

2X 0.2 K swim – 5X 1.8 K mountain bike – 3X 1.1 K trail run

New XTERRA race concept called SHORTTRACK will have the world premier in Prachatice this year. This race will take place on Sunday at Kristanovicky Lake. Only TOP 25 men and TOP 20 women from Thursday’s qualification will make it to the Friday A FINALS. Another 25 men and 20 women will race B FINALS. Competitors will race on very short laps around Kristanovicky Lake with many technical sections and obstacles. This race format will be very interesting for XTERRA competitors and spectators, too. PRO prize purse: 5000 USD.

Qualification race course

Swim (1x200 meters)

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.

Mountain Bike (1x4K)

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 (1x1K)

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.

Friday finals course

Swim (2x200 meters)

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.

Mountain Bike (5x1,8K)

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.

Trail Run (3x1,1K)

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.
