Arthur Serrieres, Sandra Mairhofer crowned XTERRA European Champions

Monday 23 August 2021

Arthur Serrieres from France and Sandra Mairhofer from Italy captured the 2021 XTERRA European Championship in conjunction with the 18th annual XTERRA Germany off-road triathlon with winning times of 2:39:01 and 3:06:07, respectively, on Saturday, August 21, 2021, in Zittau.

For Serrieres, who was runner-up to Bradley Weiss at the 2019 XTERRA World Championship, today’s win marks a successful XTERRA EU title defense after winning the 2019 race in the Czech Republic. It’s his 12th career XTERRA World Tour victory and fifth this season alone. For Mairhofer, it’s her second XTERRA World Tour win, she picked up her first just last month at XTERRA Italy – Lake Scanno.

The atmosphere was electric in Zittau, Germany on Saturday morning as elite and age-group athletes lined up for the XTERRA European Championship. The full distance off-road triathlon, consisting of a 1.5km swim, 37km mountain bike and 10km trail run, is one of the most anticipated events on the European triathlon calendar and it did not disappoint.
