The 2018 XTERRA Season will open with a bang on Friday, 23 February 2018 when excited junior XTERRA Warriors gather at the water’s edge of the picturesque Eikenhof Dam ready to partake in the action-packed Fedhealth XTERRA Kids Race in Grabouw.
The ideal introduction to the sport of XTERRA, the Fedhealth XTERRA Kids Race is hosted at a beautiful venue that encourages family support.
Jadon Hunter (6-8 years) really enjoyed the XTERRA Kids Race in 2017. “I enjoyed the bike leg the most,” says Hunter. “I like riding my bike. I entered the XTERRA because it’s fun.”
According to Angeliq Coetzer (9-11 years) the 2017 XTERRA Kids Race was awesome. “I enjoyed all three disciplines: the swim, the mountain bike and the trail run. I entered because taking part would be an achievement for me and I got a medal.”
Christiaan Franken (12-15 years) made his XTERRA debut in 2017. “I really enjoyed today. The mountain bike discipline was my favourite. I’ll definitely be back in 2018.”
