This will be the second annual XTERRA Del Valle. In its inaugural year, the Del Valle Regional State Park proved to be the stage of a challenging course. Del Valle sets the scene for a classic XTERRA lake swim with a traditional beach run in-between the long course’s two laps. The lake, nestled in the center of the park, is clear and calm making for fast swimming times. Though not well known as a mountain bike location, Del Valle is plush with miles of single track that wind up and down the area’s oak covered hills. The running section has been slightly modified to provide a better overall experience.
If you are coming from farther away, there are great camping spots located right in the park. Also, if you have time make a whole weekend of it and stay for more than just the race. Del Valle Regional State park is full of other activities such as boating and finishing, some of the best in the area.

Decided not to do this race, it’s just too close to other races and I don’t ride MTB at all, well not for 3 years.
But it would be fun, maybe another time.
