While it won\u2019t feature an Urban course, it will have a \u2018City Feel\u2019 to it. It will also boast with an ocean swim, an element that has not been seen at XTERRA SA for quite some time now. Many athletes are also not aware of the fact that Port Elizabeth offers beautiful trails in the heart of the city. These trails will be utilised for the XTERRA bike and run courses.\u201d \u201cAnother exciting change to the XTERRA series will see each event featuring an XTERRA Kids Race,\u201d continues Meyer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvent weekends will start as follows: XTERRA kids on the Friday, followed by the XTERRA Full on the Saturday and finally the XTERRA Lite on the Sunday. Together with these exciting changes and the exceptional support received from Fedheatlh, we are looking forward to a truly memorable season of XTERRA racing.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"text-2xl font-bold\">2016 Event Dates:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>22 &#8211; 24 January 2016<\/strong> &#8211; Buffelspoort (North West Province)<\/p>\n<p><strong>29 &#8211; 31 January 2016<\/strong> &#8211; Port Elizabeth<\/p>\n<p><strong>19 &#8211; 21 February 2016<\/strong>&#8211; Grabouw (Western Cape)<\/p>\n<p>Entries for all three events will open on Thursday, 17 September 2015.<\/p>\n<p>For further information on the Fedhealth XTERRA, please contact Stillwater Sports on 082 991 0045, email entries@stillwatersports.com or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stillwatersports.com\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.stillwatersports.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stillwater Sports, the organiser of South Africa\u2019s premier off-road triathlon, the Fedhealth XTERRA presented by REHIDRAT\u00ae SPORT is excited to announce that the event will make its Port Elizabeth debut the weekend of 29 \u2013 31 January 2016. \u201cWe have a number of exciting changes in store for 2016,\u201d says Michael Meyer, Managing Director of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":47088,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[350],"featured_location":[],"class_list":["post-19341","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-xterra"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19341\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19341"},{"taxonomy":"featured_location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bikehub.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/featured_location?post=19341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
