  • 2006 XTERRA Saipan Press Guide.Qxd
    AND THE SAIPAN SPORTS FEST MARCH 31 - APRIL 9 2006 PRESS GUIDE ssppoonnssoorrss The 2006 XTERRA Saipan Championship is presented by the Marianas Visitors Authority, and sponsored by the Pacific Islands Club, Paul Mitchell, XTERRA Gear, and Coca~Cola Beverage Co. (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.

    2021 ATHLETE GUIDE Race Date: Saturday, 6/19/21; Race Start: 7:00am Location: Cathedral Camp, 167 East Freetown, MA June 14, 2021 Dear Athlete, It’s been 20 months since our last event and we are thrilled to return to racing even if it will look and feel a little different from the last time we were producing events. As part of the state’s re-opening plan we prepared a COVID-19 Mitigation Plan designed to reduce the risk of the spread of the virus. This plan was shared and approved by the Freetown Board of Health and the basic elements of this plan are covered in section 1 of this guide (page 2). Your understanding and cooperation with this plan is appreciated. You can download the complete plan at https://sunmultisportevents.com/events/patriot-half/ The Patriot Half is a production of Sun Multisport Events (SME). This Athlete Guide and the page of our website devoted to the Patriot Half should answer all your questions. If after reading this Guide and visiting our website you still have questions feel free email us at [email protected]. However, understand that this is race week so our response to emails will be slower than normal. We will email you if we need to communicate any last minute news or announcements, but we also invite you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where we’ll post quick updates (e.g. Long Pond water temperature) as we get closer to race day. Good luck with your final race preparations.

  • Fort Monroe Idea Report FINAL
    Topic Name Feedback on the Planning Advisory Group (PAG) Presentation Idea Title FMA and planners need to think regionally. Presentation showed only FM, Phoebus, and Hampton as important in planning. Ways to bring Norfolk and Portsmouth visitors to the fort should be included in plans. Existing, as well as newly implemented passenger ferries and tour boats, should be Idea Detail encouraged to make stops at FM. A great restaurant near the docking point would attract many. A reliable and frequent pick up tour bus could help circulate these visitors around the fort and to local cities. Quality tourism attractions at FM, in Phoebus, and Hampton would almost guarantee many visitors. Idea Author Ron W Number of Seconds 0 Number of Points 3 Number of Comments 0 Idea Title A trolley run from the Fort to downtown Hpt and Pen Town Center Need revenue generating draws to the Fort. Also groceries, restaurant, period type housing, camping. Too much open space is Idea Detail NOT a draw there.

The site could host a 5k running course in and around the fort itself, and a 20 mile looped cycling course around the island and nearby areas such as Phoebus and Buckroe Beach.
