March 29, 2026

/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Asia-Pacific Championship week returned to Dunsborough, Western Australia, bringing athletes, families, and friends together for community course sessions and activities ahead of the main events on March 28–29. The program covered youth, age group, trail run, and elite regional championships, alongside shorter distances and the opening round of the 2026 XTERRA World Cup.

First held in Australia more than a decade ago, the Asia-Pacific Championship has also been hosted in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Taiwan since its inception in 2014. The off-road meetup at Meelup Regional Park drew hundreds of participants and supporters to celebrate XTERRA’s 30th anniversary of adventures in the wild.

Saturday, March 28, brought 18°C air and water temperatures in Geographe Bay, with steady rain and choppy conditions in the swim following the passage of tropical cyclone Narelle further north. Sunday, March 29, moved onto the trails for the Asia-Pacific Trail Run Championship, where Marathon and Half Marathon races delivered new and returning champions. What follows is how youth, age group, and elite athletes experienced the weekend across off-road tri and trail.
