Come down and jump around to the beat of music, smell of bbq, and sight of great racing action. Visitors can get a professional haircut from the best Paul Mitchell stylists in Alabama, style-up with XTERRA Gear apparel, and stay fueled with the latest in GU Energy Gel formulas. It's a weekend festival specifically designed to get you out and active. Founded to help physically challenged athletes reach their athletic goals, the non-profit Challenged Athletes Foundation is the official charity of the Paul Mitchell Cut-a-thon at each stop on the XTERRA US Champioinship Series. Stylists will cut hair from 10am-2pm on Sunday. CHALLENGED ATHLETES FOUNDATION 8 XTERRA SPORTS FESTIVAL XTERRA OAK MOUNTAIN 5K WALK & 5K & 10K TRAIL RUN A benefit for the Lakeshore Foundation Forget boring old road runs, the XTERRA Oak Mountain Scramble trail runs are crooked, bumpy, muddy and gutsy and sure to get your heart rate going! Test your physical and mental skills as you get down and dirty, ducking under branches and hopping over rocks. It's you versus Mother Nature, running on the same paths that the XTERRA Duathlon and Championship racers will tackle and it's for a good cause as proceeds benefit the Lakeshore Foundation (lakeshore.org) - a not-for-profit organization located in Birmingham that promotes independence for persons with physically disabling conditions and opportunities to pursue active healthy lifestyles. We also offer a 5k walk so everyone can get involved. Awards go to the top 3, and all participants get a shirt and refreshments. XTERRA DUATHLON Some guys and gals just don't swim and if you're one of them, this race is for you. The XTERRA Duathlon combines a 2-mile off-road trail run with a 10-mile mountain bike and 3-mile run. It's open to athletes of all ages and skill levels; you can even team up with two or three people and make it a team effort.

(Micronesia), Inc. iinnttoo tthhee jjuunnggllee . AT THE 5th 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 2006 there will be more than 100 XTERRA races in 17 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 2006 Nissan Xterra World Championship held in Maui on October 29 - with 34 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 Nissan Xterra USA Championship Series.
