After several rounds of course scouting at Snowbasin Resort near Ogden, Utah – the sequence of events for the inaugural XTERRA Winter World Championship has been re-ordered so the 10k mountain bike portion will start the race, followed by the 5k snowshoe, 5k run, and 8k ski mountaineering stages.

“We switched up the order to assure the most hard-packed and firm conditions for the bike leg,” said race director Dave Nicholas.

In other updates the Weber State University Wilderness Recreation Center has been named the official outfitter for Winter Worlds - offering snowboards with boots and bindings, snowshoes, skis, climbing skins and car racks at discounted rates for race participants.
