Xtrail Kenting 2026 Results

9 March 2026

Xtrail Kenting by UTMB brought the UTMB World Series for the first time to Taiwan’s Hengchun Peninsula. This is the third event in the UTMB World Series of this year. (Puerto Vallarta had to be rescheduled for later in the season due the civil unrest in Mexico.) I’m sure I’m gonna lose track here very quickly as the season unfolds and the number of events increases.
