    ABOUT Hannah-Lee Young

    In 2025 I am going 'All in' and turning a dream into reality. I will be racing around the world in the XTERRA World Cup series with one goal in mind: to become one of the first Australian women to break into the Top 10 of the XTERRA World Cup rankings- a feat that has never been more competitive, more global or more meaningful.


    The XTERRA World Cup is the pinnacle of Off Road Triathlon, a sport that combines open water swimming, technical mountain biking and trail running across some of the most stunning, rugged and unpredictable terrain in the world.


    In 2025, the World Cup consists of 11 elite-level races across eight countries. Some of the stops will feature two different styles of racing- the original Full Distance Race (1.5km swim / 30km Mountain Bike / 10km Trail Run) and the exciting Short Track race (400m Swim / 8km Mountain Bike / 3km Trail Run). Each location tests athletes differently, making the World Cup a true measure of all round endurance, adaptability and mental toughness.


    For me, this isn't just about competing but about representing. As an Australian woman in a sport still growing in visibility back home, i'm racing to show that we belong at the top level and hopefully inspire more women (and men) to believe in themselves and pursue things they are passionate about. Cracking the Top 10 in the world isn't just a personal milestone for myself and my team around me but for every young Aussie girl who's ever wondered if she can thrive in a sport like this - just like I once wondered when I was young.


    Of course, racing overseas comes at a financial challenge. With every race presents a new set of logistics to navigate- Flights, entry fees, bike transport, accommodation, care hire, nutrition, insurance and recovery tools- it all adds up!


    Unlike the road triathlon world, off-road racing doesn't have the same level of sponsorship infrastructure yet. That means I need support to keep this dream alive and to do it right. Every dollar I raise brings me closer to making this season a success- not just by getting me to each start line but by allowing me to race fully prepared, properly fuelled and with less financial pressure in the back of my mind.


    With your help i'm not just trying to race but i'm aiming to make history in Australian sport. To stand on each start line across those eleven races, representing Australia and knowing I have a whole community behind me is truly something special.


    This isn't just a season, it's a mission.


    Lets make it happen!


    I am currently ranked 5th in the XTERRA World Cup rankings and 30th in the XTERRA World Rankings.
