The following weekend XTERRA will make its debut in Port Elizabeth (29 \u2013 31 January 2016), before culminating in Grabouw (Western Cape) the weekend of 19 \u2013 21 February 2016 in the form of the South African Championships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach XTERRA event will follow the exact same format in 2016,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of Stillwater Sports. \u201cEvent weekends will start as follows: the XTERRA kids on the Friday, followed by the XTERRA Full on the Saturday and finally the XTERRA Lite on the Sunday.
