Halde Hoheward, Herten / Recklinghausen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The XLETIX Challenge NRW 2026 returns to Halde Hoheward in Herten on 29 August 2026, bringing the brand's signature obstacle racing back to North Rhine-Westphalia. The event is staged on the industrial, scenic landscape of the Halde Hoheward spoil heap and surrounding Landschaftspark, offering expansive vantage points such as the Horizontobservatorium. Organisers note new obstacles for 2026 and the typical XLETIX event atmosphere that combines rugged terrain with purpose-built course features. Participants should expect a festival-like race day with multiple simultaneous courses across the site.
The weekend features three standard XLETIX distances — Fun, Adventure and X‑Treme — with approximate course lengths of 6 km, 12 km and 18 km and obstacle counts commonly around 15, 25 and 35 respectively. Finishers receive branded items including a medal, T-shirt, headband and armband, and the event page links to galleries and video from previous editions. Competitors are advised to confirm exact venue access and timing with the official XLETIX pages closer to the date. The event is organised and promoted by XLETIX; full details and registration are available via the official organiser website.
