2018 XTERRA Worlds Guide 10.22 2007 XTERRA Maui Press PRESS GUIDE 1 EVENT PARTNERS The 23rd annual XTERRA World Championship is presented by Paul Mitchell and the Maui Visitors Bureau. Other partners include Suunto, the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Gatorade Endurance, OOFOS, Kapalua Resorts, the Maui Motorcyle Company, and The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua. 4 WELCOME TO MAUI, HOME TO THE XTERRA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP When you think of Maui, cascading waterfalls, white sand beaches, and breathtaking sunsets come straight to mind. This magical Hawaiian island is also the birthplace of the most notorious off-road triathlon on earth…XTERRA! From a one-off race held on the most remote island chain in the world, XTERRA evolved into an endurance sports lifestyle with worldwide appeal. Over the past 20+ years XTERRA transcended its status as 'just a race' to become a bona fide way of life for thousands of intrepid triathletes and trail runners across the globe. A fitting representation of this “XTERRA Tribe” - 800 athletes from 44 countries - will gather at Kapalua Resort, and on Sunday, October 28, they’ll put their mental and physical toughness up against Mother Nature at the 23rd edition of the XTERRA World Championship. Follow the race online at Facebook.com/xterraplanet and Twitter @xterraoffroad starting at 9am Hawaii time (12pm PST, 3pm EST, 9pm Paris, 3am Monday in Shanghai, and 6am Monday in Sydney).

The experience is a sensory riot, featuring fragrant breezes, Pacific blue water, bright yellow sun, soft white sand, fine red dirt, and cool green lawns. Start and Swim: Located at D.T. Fleming Beach fronting the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, there are plenty of great vantage points to watch the mass start from the lawn above or down on the beach. Pros are easy to spot with their identifying swim caps - men in blue and women in pink. A short beach shuffle mid-race between two 750-meter laps of an “M” shaped course gives spectators a chance to pick out their friends and family from the field. T1 and T2 - Bike and Run Transition: Located a few yards from the swim start in front of the Ritz. The transition area is for competitors only, however, spectators may view the change-over from any position around the boundary. Bike: Unfortunately, there’s really no place to watch the bike aside from the first mile out and back as the entire 20-mile single loop course is on private land and not open to the public. Run: Most of the run course is open to the public (follow the red arrows backwards) but the best spot to watch is the leg-burning section of sand just before the finish line on D.T. Fleming Beach. Finish: The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua, is where all the action takes place, from the swim to transition to the spontaneous, ecstatic, and sometimes tear-jerking displays of emotion at the finish line. Spectators will also find an expo area featuring premium performance apparel and accessories for the trail and beyond, great food and drinks, and a full slate of fun activities for the family including kids’ games, a bounce castle, face painter, and more. Follow it live: Friends, Family and fans that are not able to attend the race can get live updates on the internet at Facebook.com/xterraplanet and Twitter @xterraoffroad starting at 9am Hawaii time (12pm PST, 3pm EST, 9pm Paris, 3am Monday in Shanghai, and 6am Monday in Sydney).

In 1996 mountain biking and triathlon met in a duel of the fittest on the island of Maui. The race consisted of an open- ocean swim, a mountain bike race, and a trail run.

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 spirit and attitude that pulled them together. For as different as they were, neither could resist the challenges and thrills this new multisport offered. Since that day XTERRA has grown into the world’s leading off-road triathlon with more than 100 races in 15 countries this year, including 67 in the XTERRA America Tour alone. The typical XTERRA is comprised of the following: 1.5 kilometer (0.93-mile) swim in an ocean, lake, or river 30 kilometer (18.6-mile) mountain bike on off-road trails 10 kilometer (6.2-mile) trail run on a variety of surfaces 2010 marks the 15th consecutive year of XTERRA racing.
