THE XTERRA VILLAGE The gathering place and headquarters for all the outdoor action is the Village Green next to the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe. There you'll find big white tents filled with everything from the latest in XTERRA Gear to the new Nissan Xterra SUV. It's where athletes register and kids play games. There's music playing, prize giveaways, and great BBQ to enjoy. There’s even the NEVADA Climbing Wall for the kids, or the kid in you! The Expo is open from 9am-to-3pm on Saturday and Sunday. 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 Nissan Xterra Champioinship Series. Stylists will cut hair from 10am-2pm on Sunday in exchange for a donation to CAF. CHALLENGED ATHLETES FOUNDATION 5 OFF-RROAD SPORTS FESTIVAL XTERRA UNIVERSITY Presented by Paul Mitchell Learn the art of XTERRA from the best off-road multisport athletes on the planet. XTERRA U is a must for first-timers and anyone looking to sharpen their skills in swimming, mountain biking, trail running, and nutrition. The pros will even break down into Tahoe course specifics and answer any and all questions. Best part is, these hands-on clinics are FREE. Clinics are Friday, Sept. 30: Attend all the lessons or pick your discipline (see schedule for start times); - Mountain Biking with Melanie McQuaid and Mike Vine - Swimming with Jess Harrison and Brent McMahon - The Art of XTERRA (Transition, Nutrition, Training, and Course Tips) with expert panel of Conrad Stoltz, Jamie Whitmore, Justin Thomas, and Melissa Thomas NISSAN XTERRA SUV SHOW Proud Nissan Xterra Owners get the chance to show off their SUV in the middle of the compound area on Saturday. Judges will recognize and give trophies to “Best Stock”, “Best Custom”, and “Xterra Lifestyle”. It's good to be a kid at the XTERRA Village. At the Nissan Kids Base Camp there are running and bike races just for the youngsters. Experts even teach the basics of bike mechanics and bike safety. There are obstacle courses and agility drills, and every kid wins prizes and awards. It's all free, and all fun! The kid's running sprint race starts right after the cannon blast sends the big Scramblers on their way into the forest. It's a short course that takes place right in the XTERRA Village area. The real showdown is the Shimano Youth Series bike race at 10am on Sunday which is designed to provide youngsters with the opportunity to participate like their parents in a positive and fun environment. Each race matches bikers of the same age - or about the same size - in the same race, so the pre-teen future BMX pro won't be buzzing past any 3-year-olds on training wheels! 6 OFF-RROAD SPORTS FESTIVAL XTERRA NEVADA SCRAMBLE 5K / 10K A benefit for the victims of Hurricane Katrina Not your everyday 5k/10k! Forget boring old road runs that conquer miles and miles of concrete and asphalt, the XTERRA Nevada Scramble trail run is a "mud in your eye, don't twist your ankle on that rock" kind of run. These are, in fact, the same paths that Sunday's XTERRA competitors will tackle on their way to the finish line. Get to know Incline Village in a whole new way - all while breathing in some fresh air and exercising your way to the start of a great day. XTERRA NEVADA While only a select few will qualify for the championship race on Sunday, one-and-all are eligible to compete in the XTERRA Nevada open competition on Saturday. The race is comprised of three disciplines: a 750-meter swim, 32-kilometer mountain bike, and 5k trail run. While the swim and bike segments are half-the-distance of the championship course, the mountain bike leg is identical to that of the main event. Participants can even create a two or three person group - where one person does the swim, another the bike, and the other the run - and enter the XTERRA Nevada relay team competition. This is a great way to have fun with family and friends even if all three disciplines aren't your thing. 7 USA CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE DESCRIPTION Nevada's spectacular natural environment and the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range provide a world- class setting and challenge for the biggest race of the season.

This magical Hawaiian island is also the birthplace of the most notorious off-road triathlon in the world…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.

A fitting representation of this “XTERRA Tribe” - more than 800 athletes from 46 countries – will gather at Kapalua Resort and on Sunday, October 23, they’ll put their mental and physical toughness up against Mother Nature at the 21st edition (20th anniversary) of XTERRA Worlds.

  • A 40 Year History
    New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association National Secondary School Cross Country Championships A 40 Year History Introduction The New Zealand Secondary Schools Athletics Association is proud to publish a forty- year history of the New Zealand Secondary Schools Cross Country Championships. Participation in the event between 1974 and 2013 totals well over 10,000 athletes from all but a handful of schools from around the country. With an annual involvement of over 1000 students it has become one of the largest secondary school sporting events in New Zealand. The idea for this document was born during the 1995 NZSSCC Championships in Masterton. At this time (before the internet), results were published in a hard copy booklet. In this particular year the first three place getters in the individual, and three and six person team categories were published for the first twenty-one years of the events history. This accompanied the full set of 1995 results. After this event, the majority of results were published electronically. Unfortunately, many of these results were lost in the mid to late nineties because there was no dedicated NZSSAA website. Sincere thanks need to be given to Don Chadderton for providing the first twenty years’ of results. Without these early results a significant part of athletics New Zealand’s history would have eventually been forgotten. These include the 1974 performance of Alison Rowe, who would later go on to win both the 1981 Boston and New York marathons. As well as Burnside High School’s 1978 performance in the junior boys event where they completed the perfect three-man score of six points.
