The World Triathlon Cross Championships is a triathlon championship competition organised by World Triathlon. The competition has been held annually since 2011. Unlike normal triathlon races the cross triathlon (or X-tri) discipline is off-road over difficult terrain. The championship typically involves a 1 km swim, 20–30 km mountain bike and 6–10 km trail run.
