XTERRA Whitewater One of a Kind
The U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, North Carolina plays host to XTERRA Whitewater on July 9, putting triathletes to the test at the world’s premiere outdoor recreation facility.
The brand new course for 2016 begins with a 1K flatwater swim split between the natural waters of the Catawba River and a portion of our man-made whitewater rafting channel, followed by 23K on mountain bike across all difficulty levels of the USNWC trail system, and concluding with an 6.5K trail run to cross the finish line.
Over 1,100 acres of maintained woodlands along the Catawba River provide the ideal location for this challenging trail race as well as a weekend getaway for the whole family. Competitors will find themselves swimming underneath three separate zip lines overhead, as they pass by the world’s first Deep Water Solo Climbing Complex.
Home to the world’s largest man-made recirculating river, the USNWC features over 30 unique activities available to all ages and skill levels, including whitewater rafting and kayaking, flatwater kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, zip lines, and ropes courses. Spend the weekend challenging yourself at XTERRA Whitewater and enjoying all the adventure that the U.S. National Whitewater Center has to offer.
XTERRA Ambassador Marcus Barton will be hosting his annual transition clinic at the facility on Friday, July 8th, at 6:30pm, followed by a QnA with race director’s Adam Bratton and Jimmy Lawler.
