The story

XTERRA Greece Vouliagmeni in Vouliagmeni/Athens

An off-road triathlon on the Athenian Riviera, combining open-water swimming off Vouliagmeni Beach with technical mountain biking and trail running through the South Hymettus hills, held since 2016 after the Greek edition's earlier run at Lake Plastira. Multiple distance categories, including a full-distance race, a sprint option and a children's triathlon, run across the same weekend near central Athens.

A swim in the sheltered water off Vouliagmeni Beach gives way almost immediately to steep, rocky mountain-bike single-track through the South Hymettus range, and that abrupt shift from Athenian Riviera coastline to genuine off-road terrain is the entire premise of XTERRA Greece.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

XTERRA's off-road format allocates the bulk of race time, roughly two-thirds, to technical mountain biking through the South Hymettus terrain rather than road cycling, making bike-handling and terrain-reading skill as decisive as pure fitness, unlike a conventional flat-course triathlon

02

The mystery stays covered

The event's location lets competitors swim in the sheltered open water of the Athenian Riviera and then ride and run across genuinely rugged, rocky hill terrain within the same short loop, a contrast between coastal resort scenery and rough off-road ground not found together at most other triathlon venues

03

The city starts moving

A separate children's triathlon distance extends the off-road format to younger participants on a scaled-down course
