XTERRA Americas Tour

How old you are on December 31, 2023 determines your age group. There are divisions for men & women ages 15-19*, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80+, and Physically Challenged OPEN.

You must start at least three (3) full or long-distance XTERRA events in the Americas to be eligible for XTERRA Americas Tour Champion honours. There is no limit to how many races you can do, but only races in the Americas region count towards Americas Tour titles. The season spans the entirety of the 2023 calendar year, from the first race of the season to the last.

You will receive an XTERRA World Performance Index points score at every event you compete in. The WPI is a formula-driven scoring system that ranks every athlete who competes at an XTERRA World Championship qualifying event based on the strength and depth of field, number of participants, difficulty of the course (e.g. elevation, water & air temperature, rainfall, trail type, etc.), level of event (e.g. Gold, Silver, Championship), and your finishing time.

The athlete with the highest XTERRA World Performance Index points score at an XTERRA Americas event at the end of the season - by gender and age group - earns the title of XTERRA Americas Tour Champion.

If there is a tie in points score in a division, the tie-breaker will be the person with the most wins in that division. If still tied after counting wins, the person finishing highest in the most recent race where both competed. If no head-to-head exists, tie- breaker goes to the person finishing highest in the most recent race.
