About the Event

Confront the raw power of Africa's iconic Garden Route at Knysna Extreme on 7th November 2026, an XTri-sanctioned test of ultimate endurance set within a World Heritage Site.

This is the definitive challenge where elite competitors and hardy adventurers converge to write their legacy in sweat and salt air, surrounded by the breathtaking vistas of the Knysna Estuary and the Outeniqua Mountains. Secure your place at the starting line of a truly wild and prestigious test of body, mind, and spirit.
