AAA - XTREME TRIATHLON 2026

Conquer one of the Southern Hemisphere's most brutal and beautiful endurance challenges at the Australian Alpine Ascent (AAA) Xtreme Triathlon on February 14, 2026, Australia's only official qualifier for the iconic XTRI® World Championship at Norseman®. Set in the breathtaking Kosciuszko National Park, this race tests ultimate stamina with a 3.8km swim in 12-15°C waters, a grueling 187km bike leg with 3,851m of climbing, and a 44km mountain run with 818m of elevation gain. With only 100 race slots available, earning 200 X-Points for a finish (or 50 for a DNF) places you on the global stage of extreme triathlon.

This is more than a race—it's a defining journey of resilience and mental grit across Australia's highest alpine landscape. If you have what it takes to face the AAA, you're not just racing for a finish line; you're racing for a chance to earn your place among the world's toughest endurance athletes.
