2007 XTERRA Saipan Press Guide.Qxd 2007 PRESS GUIDE ssppoonnssoorrss The 2007 XTERRA Saipan Championship is presented by the Marianas Visitors Authority, and sponsored by the Pacific Islands Club, Paul Mitchell, and XTERRA Gear. iinnttoo tthhee jjuunnggllee THE 6th ANNUAL XTERRA SAIPAN CHAMPIONSHIP XTERRA is the world’s premier off-road multisport event. An extreme competition, the XTERRA format combines swimming with mountain biking and trail running. It has been described as one part triathlon, one part mountain bike race, and one part “survival of the fittest”. With its white sand beaches, warm water, jungle trails, and secret caves it’s easy to see how the XTERRA Saipan Championship became the “Crown Jewel” of the XTERRA Global Tour. In 2007 there will be more than 100 XTERRA races in 16 countries…but none quite like this one! The race starts with a 1.5-kilometer swim in the crystal clear waters fronting Micro Beach, follows with a 30k mountain bike ride that traverses island terrain to the top of Mount Tapotchau (the highest point on the island at 1,545 feet elevation) and finishes with a 12k trail run that takes competitors past World War II relics and through secret jungles and caves. The event is a qualifier for the 2007 XTERRA World Championship held in Maui on October 28 - with 36 slots available to the top finishers in each age group (see page 12 for details). The race will also award points to amateur athletes racing in this year’s XTERRA America Tour (see page 30 for details). The US $20,000 professional purse at the XTERRA Saipan Championship has attracted some of the best multisport athletes on the planet. Plus, there’s the Tagaman Triathlon - the longest running triathlon in the Western Pacific (18 years now) the following Saturday on March 24. The two races provide a perfect early season training schedule for multisport pros. In between XTERRA Saipan and Tagaman is the Saipan Sports Fest. The Sports Fest runs from March 16 through March 25 and includes a variety of clinics focusing on triathlon preparation, bike maintenance, goal setting, and motivation. There’s also an evening Hash Run, tank-to-tank swims, XTERRA Trail Runs, TagaKids Triathlon, bbq’s, and a 7k/10k Walk. For the hardcore triathletes the Pacific Islands Club (PIC) Double awards $500 and 7-nights at the PIC to the man and woman with the fastest combined XTERRA and Tagaman Triathlon times.

"Saipan is a spectacular adventure destination, and we are proud to promote that fact to potential visitors from around the world,” said TEAM Unlimited President Janet Clark. This year’s race along with coverage of the Saipan Sports Fest and Tagaman Triathlon will once again be filmed for a half-hour feature show to be broadcast in Saipan, Guam, on Gaora in Japan, and across the United States through national syndication starting in June of 2007. Held annually in the Northern Mariana Islands, XTERRA Saipan is widely regarded as the "Crown Jewel" of the XTERRA Global Tour. The race and TV show are presented by the Marianas Visitors Authority, and produced by TEAM Unlimited. The success of both the race and TV show is attributed to Saipan's spectacular natural environment with the majestic jungles and crystal clear water providing a first-class setting for the world’s leading off-road multisport event and series. The broadcast tracks competitors locked in a battle with Mother Nature as they navigate a 1.5 kilometer swim in the Pacific Ocean starting at Micro Beach, a 30k mountain bike up to the crest of Mt. Tapotchau, and a 12k jungle and beach trail run. The show follows athletes from start to finish - providing brilliant images from all over the island. *Founded in 1978, the Telly Awards is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. The Telly Awards receives entries from five continents and is a widely known and highly respected national and international competition.
