2026 XTERRA Belgium Captures 10 Years of Citadel Success

June 8, 2026

/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Citadel of Namur brought XTERRA Belgium back to one of the most distinctive venues on the XTERRA World Tour on June 6, with cool temperatures and muddy conditions adding another layer to a 10-year anniversary edition built around river racing, wooded climbs, fortress trails, youth development, first-time triathletes, and a full evening celebration.

Set above the Meuse and Sambre rivers, the historic venue kept athletes, families, supporters, and volunteers close to the action throughout the day. The Full Distance Triathlon sent athletes through a 1.5K swim in the Meuse, a 43K mountain bike course moving through city streets, cobbled sections, Citadel climbs, and forest trails, before finishing with a 10K trail run through the fortress terrain.

France’s Nicolas Duré won the elite men’s race in 2:56:19, while Great Britain’s Kerri-Ann Upham won the elite women’s race in 3:31:23. The day also included the Full Distance Duathlon, Sprint Distance Triathlon, Discovery Triathlon, Discovery Duathlon, Rookie Triathlon, My First Triathlon, Duathlon Kids, and Duathlon Mini Kids races, with youth athletes also racing across XTERRA Youth Tour categories.

Full results are available through the XTERRA Belgium event page. Follow upcoming highlights and weekend coverage through XTERRA Europe on Instagram.
