As Norseman 2020 was postponed, 2021 will be the 18th edition of Norseman Xtreme Triathlon and the second time we host the XTRI World Championships. The World Championship is an integral part of the Norseman race and follow the same times and rules.
A result list containing the World Championship only will be published after the race.

The 2021 World Championship is already full. The athletes qualified in the 2019 XTRI World Tour races and our merit selection.
To qualify for the 2022 World Championship you need to be a top finisher in one of the qualifying XTRI World Tour races. Winners and runners up are invited. This follows the calendar year (2021), and the invitation is for the year following their win (2022).
Other PRO/Elite athletes may apply based on merits from 2018, 2019 or 2021.
Minimum merit requirements to apply for women:
10 hours 15 minutes or faster on an “iron” distance race or similar.
Minimum merit requirements to apply for men:

Applications are submitted during the enrolment process by entering requested PRO/Elite information. Applications are then evaluated by our jury who will rank them and award World Championship slots for the top ranked athletes.
