Course Info: XTERRA Portland is a 1000 meter swim, 25 k mountain bike, and 4.25 mile run in the luscious land of Scoggins Valley Park.
Two buoy clockwise 1000m swim in warm, calm Hagg Lake.
The XTERRA Portland bike leg is rolling single and double track. The relatively flat, but technical course has sharp turns requiring quick and reactive decision-making as well as bursts of speed on short and steep climbs that will force the rider out of the saddle get the legs burning, and several rocky or root filled sections that will challenge the rider's agility, control, and balance.
Runners will need to be light on their toes as they twist and turn through a windy up and down run course through some well-groomed and not so well-groomed trails. Once again the runner's agility, balance, and stamina will be tested as the runner hurdles logs, traverses steep ravines, creek crossings, and bush-whacks through the typical lush NW forest underbrush!

It starts with: one stroke, one pedal, and one step and every XTERRA athlete finishes with: one last stroke, one last pedal, and one last step. No one is born a triathlete. Each man and woman who finds themselves conquering XTERRA races began their journey by diving in a pool, hopping on a bike, or stretching their legs on a run. XTERRA maintains the confidence anyone can do these races--with the drive to accomplish. Whether you are a mom, dad, CEO, teacher, surfer, or a mountain biker, just about anyone with a passion for great sports in the outdoors can conquer XTERRA.
