Duvoisin, Forissier Win 2025 XTERRA World Championship with Victories Celebrated Across All Ages

September 27, 2025

/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The 29th XTERRA World Championship roared to life in Molveno beneath the Brenta Dolomites on September 27, marking the fourth and final Italian edition of off-road triathlon’s biggest day. More than 1,000 athletes from 54 nations united as the race village filled with supporters, while fans around the world followed on the livestream. A €100,000 Elite prize purse was awarded, but the atmosphere reached beyond results as the global off-road community gathered in a setting that has become a second home for XTERRA since its origins in Maui in 1996.

Temperatures were chilly at 11°C (52 °F) in the air and 17.4°C (63 °F) in Lake Molveno, but after final checks, the official governing body of the 2025 XTERRA World Championship confirmed conditions were safe, allowing the race to proceed, starting with the 1.5K swim. The challenge was clear as athletes dove into the alpine waters, then climbed into the Paganella trails where beauty and exploration met on roots, rock, mud, and loose stone. Families and friends lined sections of the course, cheering on athletes as a collective force that continues to pioneer a new way of living with XTERRA moving into its 30th anniversary next year.

Loanne Duvoisin (CHE) rose to the moment, earning her first XTERRA World Championship in 3:15:18 after seizing control on the bike and sealing the win on the run, while Felix Forissier (FRA) delivered a decisive performance of his own, finishing in 2:44:18 to capture his first XTERRA World Championship title. Athletes who earned their place through qualifiers across the XTERRA World Tour raced the iconic course side by side, from 20-year-old Teresa Beraus (DEU) to 70-year-old Keiji Matsuba (JPN), proving this day belonged to every generation and every legacy.
