XLETIX Challenge Berlin opens the season and is the largest event on the XLETIX calendar. It is held in the Offroad-Park Berlin-Brandenburg at Schöneiche near Zossen, roughly 40 km south of the capital: 170 hectares of forest with deep mud sections and genuinely demanding off-road running between the obstacles. The venue hosts XLETIX's longest Speed Slide, alongside Wild Water and Burning Bridge.
The event runs over two days with FUN (6 km, 15 obstacles), ADVENTURE (12 km, 25 obstacles) and X-TREME (18 km, 35 obstacles) on both Saturday and Sunday. Teams tackle up to 35 obstacles together, which is what makes this the season-opener people plan the rest of their year around.
