2015 Press Guide Welcome from the Nsw Government 2015 PRESS GUIDE WELCOME FROM THE NSW GOVERNMENT A warm welcome to athletes and supporters visiting Jervis Bay on the beautiful South Coast of NSW for the 2015 XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championships. The NSW Government proudly secured this event until 2016, through its tourism and major events agency Destination NSW. The XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship takes the traditional triathlon off-road, and welcomes some of the world’s best and toughest athletes who will test their skills and endurance on the region’s beaches and trails. The weekend-long festival also gives casual participants the opportunity to compete in a sprint distance off-road triathlon, trail run, or relay team competition. The NSW South Coast is a haven for surfers, cyclists, runners and nature lovers, and a fitting location to host this event. Competitors will take in some spectacular scenery en route, and visitors will be charmed by the local hospitality and the area’s beautiful natural attractions including Jervis Bay Marine Park and Booderee National Park, as well as its headlands, cliff top walking trails and native forests. Best of luck to all competitors for the 2015 XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championships, and have a wonderful stay in Jervis Bay. Nick Rains / Destination NSW The XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship is proudly supported by the NSW Government through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW. Presenting sponsors include John Paul Mitchell Systems, the world’s largest privately owned professional salon hair care company, Outrigger Hotels & Resorts - one of the largest and fastest growing privately-held leisure lodging, retail and hospitality companies in the Asia-Pacific and Oceania regions, 220 Triathlon Australia/NZ, and XTERRA Wetsuits & Boards Australia - the official swim sponsor. 2 INTRODUCTION TO XTERRA In 1996 mountain biking and triathlon met in a duel of the fittest on the island of Maui. The race consisted of a rough water swim, a mountain bike race, and a trail run. It represented a bold new racing format that attracted outdoor enthusiasts, adventure seekers, mountain bikers and triathletes. The mountain bikers brought their laid-back style and bold self-assurance. The triathletes brought their hard-core training and avid dedication. They soon discovered a common “Live More” spirit that pulled them together. The relationship flourished into an internationally- recognized brand called XTERRA, and today there are tens of thousands of athletes not only taking part in the races, but truly living the lifestyle. A fitting representation of this “XTERRA Tribe” - several hundred athletes from around the world – will gather at Callala Beach in pristine Jervis Bay, New South Wales; and on Saturday, April 18 to put their mental and physical toughness up against Mother Nature at the 2nd annual XTERRA Asia-Pacific Championship triathlon. A television show will be produced for national & international distribution.
