About the Event

The XTERRA Greece Vouliagmeni 2026 is a premier off-road triathlon event scheduled for April 24th to 26th, 2026, held along the Athenian Riviera. This multi-day festival has become a staple for global TRIathletes, combining the crystal-clear waters of Vouliagmeni Beach with the rugged, pine-covered mountain terrain of South Hymettus. The 2026 edition features a total of six races, including a full-distance triathlon that serves as a qualifier for the XTERRA World Championship, offering 56 qualifying slots and a €15,000 prize purse for elite competitors.

Vouliagmeni is an affluent coastal suburb located approximately 20 kilometers south of Athens city center, with a local population of roughly 4,150 residents. Known as the "jewel" of the Athenian Riviera, it is home to Vouliagmeni Lake, a rare geological formation with thermal waters. The demographic profile of the wider South Athens region is diverse, though Vouliagmeni itself is one of the wealthiest areas in Greece, attracting high-net-worth international residents. The median annual household income in this specific suburb is significantly higher than the national average, often exceeding €45,000. Geographically, the area offers a Mediterranean landscape of limestone cliffs and pine forests. The climate in late April is typically ideal for racing, with average temperatures ranging from a low of 13°C (55°F) to a high of 20°C (68°F), and sea temperatures around 17°C (63°F).

The event is designed to be family-centric, with Sunday, April 26th, dedicated almost entirely to youth activities, including a "Laser Run," theatrical games, and a "Recycle Athlete" upcycling art installation. Registration for all events remains open until April 22nd. Official accommodation partners, such as the Somewhere Boutique Hotel and Glyfada Riviera, offer specialized services for athletes. Athlete check-in begins on Thursday, April 23rd, at Vouliagmeni Beach. For those traveling from abroad, the venue is conveniently located 25 minutes from Athens International Airport. Further race rules and technical guides are available through the organizer, Trimore Sport Events, via the official XTERRA Planet portal.
