WELCOME TO PARADISE - KAPALUA, MAUI! The Hawaiian word Kapalua can loosely be translated to mean “embracing the sea.” Fittingly enough, XTERRA is embracing Kapalua as the new home for the world’s most prestigious off-road triathlon. The 16th annual XTERRA World Championship is crossing the island after 15 glorious years in the Makena/Wailea area. Gone are the calm seas of Makena, the kiawe thorns and sharp lava rocks of Haleakala, and the unforgiving South Maui sun. It’s a whole new world at Kapalua, and the inaugural class of 2011 will usher in a fresh era of big surf, red dirt, and verdant green passages. The Kapalua Resort is on Maui’s northwest coast and as such its greener, cooler, and more tropical than the south shore. A capacity field of 650 athletes from 28 countries and 42 U.S. states will tackle this new challenge - having competed all season long for the right to dig their toes in the sand at the sports’ ultimate event. In addition to the new course, they’ll be treated to an area of Maui that is considered one of the most picturesque settings in the world with amazing beaches, renowned resorts, world-class restaurants and incredible golf courses.

  • The Equalizer / 1990
    PHOTO BY DAVE EPPERSON It’s funny how things turn out. Throughout the 1980’s, to win the Ironman World Championship, you had to dethrone the Lord of the Lava, the one and only Dave Scott. After Mark Allen finally defeated his long-time rival in 1989 in the classic IronWar battle, he came back to win five more titles, but each time the person who finished in second place was different. In 1990 it was two-time Ironman World Champion Scott Tinley, in 1991 it was Aussie Greg Welch, in 1992 it was Cristian Bustos from Chile, in 1993 it was Pauli Kiuru of Finland and in 1995, in Allen’s last ever race, it was Germany’s Thomas Hellriegel.

ALOHA AND WELCOME TO MAUI - THE MAGIC ISLE In 1996 mountain biking and triathlon met in a duel of the fittest on the island of Maui. The race consisted of a rough water 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. A fitting representation of this “XTERRA Tribe” - 725 athletes from 31 countries and 42 U.S. states – is gathered here at Kapalua Resort on Maui’s northwest coast; and on Sunday, October 28 at 9am, they’ll put their mental and physical toughness up against Mother Nature at the 17th running of the XTERRA World Championship.
