Hugging the unique coast of the island of Gozo, the XTERRA Gozo Trail Runs is one of the most beautiful trail running events in the Mediterranean. From the same organisers as XTERRA Malta, this event offers 11K, 21K and 50K races on trails that are the perfect mix of beach, cliff-edge, lush valleys, and small villages. This fast-growing event draws competitors from over 20 countries, and features top-notch organisation with volunteers manning rest and food stops along the route and full mobile accident and emergency crew throughout the race.

The XTERRA Gozo Trail runs are brought to you by the same organisers as the much loved XTERRA Malta event, and while held on different dates, they are in a way the same event.
The XTERRA Trail Run World Series aims to unify the entire global XTERRA trail run community in a single series that is inclusive and accessible for any and all trail run enthusiasts around the world.
Different to the many elite and performance-focused series that exist, the XTERRA Trail Run World Series combines three of XTERRA’s dearest values: Challenge, Adventure, and Community, to create a series that is open to all, provides the opportunity to explore the most beautiful trails the world has to offer, and to do so in the company of one of the friendliest communities in the racing industry.

The XTERRA Trail Run World Series connects the entire trail running community through a global rankings system, regional championships, and for those who qualify - the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. Following a similar system to the esteemed XTERRA Triathlon Series, each race in Trail Run World Series will provide a limited number of slots that will allow the top runners in each age group to qualify for the annual, invite-only XTERRA Trail Run World Championship. During the season, there will also be three regional championship races to determine the XTERRA Champion of the Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Schedule of Events: https://www.xterraplanet.com/trail-run-world-series#schedule
The XTERRA Trail Run World Series consists of Marathon (35km - 60km) and Half Marathon (15km - 34km) races.

For the duo category, participants may start at the same time as the individual competitors, but must finish within 30” of each other in order to qualify for the Trail Run World Series points system or championship slots. Additionally, Duo Teams must pass all checkpoints within 30” of each other and remain visually within 10 meters of each other throughout the race. Duo Teams are allowed to connect to each other via a racing leash/bungee cord to ensure they remain within the required distance throughout the race.

Perhaps most significant for those not pushing for a championship crown, the series is also underpinned by the XTERRA Trail Run World Series Ranking - a custom points system that takes into account position, participation, distance, and segments to allow runners to compete individually, regionally, and internationally.
