WELCOME TO XTERRA & THE “LIVE MORE” SPIRIT 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. 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. 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 2013 marks the 18th consecutive year of XTERRA racing, and the 5th straight year the West Championship has been held at Lake Las Vegas Resort in Henderson, Nevada. The XTERRA West Championship is the first of four regionals in the America Tour, and offers up $15,000 in prize money for pros and 47 qualifying spots into the XTERRA World Championship for amateurs.
