XTERRA MOUNTAIN CHAMPS BACK IN UTAH FOR 3RD YEAR Off-road triathlon's biggest event of the year in Utah - the XTERRA Mountain Championship - returns to Ogden and Snowbasin this Aug. 15-16. Several hundred athletes representing more than 30 states and a dozen countries are anticipated to race in the third annual event. The off-road triathlon is comprised of three disciplines including a 1.5-kilometer (0.93- mile) swim in Pineview Reservoir, a 30km (18.6-miles) mountain bike in the Wasatch Mountains to Snowbasin Resort, and a 10km (6.2 miles) trail run. XTERRA is the consummate individual challenge for outdoor adventure athletes - pulling competitors from triathlon, trail running, mountain biking and adventure racing. The challenge lures professional athletes from around the world and amateurs from across the nation to Northern Utah, and the accompanying two-day XTERRA Sports Festival provides local athletes and outdoor enthusiasts an opportunity to join in the fun. The XTERRA Mountain Championship is the last of four regionals in the XTERRA America Tour. For the top 15 pro men and women, a $20,000 prize purse & points towards the Series title will be awarded. Amateur athletes compete for the Mountain Champs age group title, one of 41 qualifying spots into the XTERRA World Championship in Maui, and points in the XTERRA America Tour Series.

  • I Love to Challenge Myself
    Kim Collison: I love to challenge myself I am passionate about running and off-road in particular. Fell, trail, ultra - all of them. I guess my main passion is mountains. Being out in nature and exploring comes into it too. I am quite competitive. The race element comes right to the fore for me. I love to challenge myself. Kim Collison attempts to summarise his passion for being out in the mountains. I talked to him just after he had set a new winter Bob Graham Round record this December. He went on to explain his background and how he got into his sport, whilst also giving details of that impressive winter effort. Kim Collison is not a native of Cumbria, although he has lived there for a while now. He grew up in Tring, in Hertfordshire, and ended up at Tring Running Club. His father was interested in sports and in running in particular. Kim enjoyed running from a very early age. As a young kid he was always outside playing. At Secondary School, Hemel Hempstead School, he did a bit of cross country, but says he wasn't so good at team games. ‘One year I remember not getting in the school cross country team’, he recalls, ‘and then going on and winning all the PE lesson cross countries the next year. I was that driven and competitive. I didn't stand out at County level or anything mind.’ He was in the Scouts and did a lot of hiking in the mountains. Through this he was learning navigation, being taken to the Lakes and Snowdonia.

Trail running is a sport where participants run different distances on trails in nature. According to International Trail Running Association (I-TRA), “trail running is a pedestrian race in a natural environment with minimal possible paved or asphalt road. The amount of roads should not exceed 20% of the distance.”1 However, recreational running on trails also fits in to the definition.

  • Physiological Determinants of Ultramarathon Trail-Running Performance
    International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, (Ahead of Print) https://doi.org/10.1123/ijspp.2020-0766 © 2021 Human Kinetics, Inc. ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION Physiological Determinants of Ultramarathon Trail-Running Performance Alexandra M. Coates, Jordan A. Berard, Trevor J. King, and Jamie F. Burr Context: The physiological determinants of ultramarathon success have rarely been assessed and likely differ in their contributions to performance as race distance increases. Purpose: To examine predictors of performance in athletes who completed either a 50-, 80-, or 160-km trail race over a 20-km loop course on the same day. Methods: Measures of running history, aerobic fitness, running economy, body mass loss, hematocrit alterations, age, and cardiovascular health were examined in relation to race-day performance. Performance was defined as the percentage difference from the winning time at a given race distance, with 0% representing the fastest possible time. Results: In the 50-km race, training volumes, cardiovascular health, aerobic fitness, and a greater loss of body mass during the race were all related to better performance (all P < .05). Using multiple linear regression, peak velocity achieved in the maximal oxygen uptake test (β = −11.7, P = .002) and baseline blood pressure (β =3.1,P = .007) were the best performance predictors for the men’s 50-km race (r =.98,r2 = .96, P < .001), while peak velocity achieved in the maximal oxygen uptake test (β = −13.6, P = .001) and loss of body mass (β =12.8,P = .03) were the best predictors for women (r = .94, r2 = .87, P =.001).Inthe 80-km race, only peak velocity achieved in the maximal oxygen uptake test predicted performance (β = −20.3, r = .88, r2 = .78, P < .001).
