The next few weeks on the XTERRA America Tour will be jam-packed with races as athletes try to maintain their peak fitness while they prepare for XTERRA Nationals next month. From XTERRA Rockport Rugged in Michigan to XTERRA Wild Ride in Idaho, there’s a way for all off-road athletes to enjoy the last days of summer.

XTERRA Rockport Rugged
XTERRA Rockport Rugged, the adventure triathlon, will take place on August 19, 2017 at Rockport State Recreation Area in Alpena, Michigan.

This event highlights the rough and rugged terrain of Rockport State Recreation Area providing the best possible athlete race day adventure experience, in a fun, friendly, family-focused environment. The race is in stark contrast to standard triathlon experiences and will challenge athletes with uneven terrain, dirt, rocks, tree limbs, and the waves of Lake Huron.
