WELCOME TO PARADISE - KAPALUA, MAUI! The Hawaiian word Kapalua can loosely be translated to mean “embracing the sea.” Fittingly enough, XTERRA is embracing Kapalua as the new home for the world’s most prestigious off-road triathlon. The 16th annual XTERRA World Championship is crossing the island after 15 glorious years in the Makena/Wailea area. Gone are the calm seas of Makena, the kiawe thorns and sharp lava rocks of Haleakala, and the unforgiving South Maui sun. It’s a whole new world at Kapalua, and the inaugural class of 2011 will usher in a fresh era of big surf, red dirt, and verdant green passages. The Kapalua Resort is on Maui’s northwest coast and as such its greener, cooler, and more tropical than the south shore. A capacity field of 650 athletes from 28 countries and 42 U.S. states will tackle this new challenge - having competed all season long for the right to dig their toes in the sand at the sports’ ultimate event. In addition to the new course, they’ll be treated to an area of Maui that is considered one of the most picturesque settings in the world with amazing beaches, renowned resorts, world-class restaurants and incredible golf courses.
