Watch LIVE as the world’s best off-road triathletes clash in Prachatice for Stop #6 of the 2026 XTERRA World Cup.
From the notorious Serrieres/Forissier sprint finish in 2024 to the millisecond battle between Manditto and Grabmüller in 2025, the Czech Short Track has consistently delivered the most full-gas racing in off-road triathlon. On August 9, 2026, we return to Short Track’s ground zero for 40 minutes each of the best of the best going bar to bar in the Men’s and Women’s races.
WHAT IS XTERRA SHORT TRACK
Short Track is XTERRA’s fastest, most intense, and spectator-friendly race format. Designed to bring the speed of off-road multi-sport directly into the race venue, athletes navigate a high-speed multi-lap circuit:
SWIM: 2x 200m sprint in dark peat waters with an Australian exit.
MOUNTAIN BIKE: 7-8km of technical features, punchy climbs, and high-speed singletrack.
TRAIL RUN: 2.5-3km all-out foot race to the town square finish.
Over in under 40 minutes, there is zero room for error. A single mistake or mechanical can destroy a World Cup campaign.
THE 2026 WORLD CUP STAKES (STOP 6 OF 7)
