​

Distances & categories

The XTERRA O-SEE Ultra Trail includes both half-marathon (O-SEE 25k) and full-marathon (O-SEE 50k) races, with individual and team DUO categories available.

The registration is binding for the participant. The registration fee will not be refunded for any reason.

Deferral Trail Runs (O-SEE Flex)

O-SEE Flex offers the possibility of moving your starting place to the following year’s event free of charge and without giving any reasons until the official registration deadline. This option can only be booked with online registration. The fee is a flat rate of € 20.00 per participant in addition to the entry fee.

The race entry can be deferred to the following year by issuing a voucher worth the amount of the entry fee paid. The prerequisite for sending the voucher code is successful deregistration via the link in the registration confirmation.

Without O-SEE Flex, deferring your starting place is not possible!

​

Changing to a different distance / Registration transfer to another person

It is possible to change the race by transferring the registration already made to a different distance. In this case, any surcharge on the registration fee must be paid if upgrading distances. Differences in entry fees will not be reimbursed.

Athletes who have already registered but are unable to take part in the race have the opportunity to transfer their registration to another athlete.
