It is a "winner take all" race, with one of the richest pro purses in multisport at $105,000, and it is awarded solely on the basis of the Maui performance. Since this race is a stand-alone event, it offers a unique opportunity to competitors as even those who have had a less than stellar season are given an opportunity to redeem themselves and earn the coveted title of XTERRA World Champion.
This year’s pro field is as deep and talent heavy as any year prior. Not only are the XTERRA specialists out in full force but a bunch of big names from the mountain biking, road triathlon, and adventure racing communities will be joining the fray as well. Amidst this collection of multisport superstars you'll find past XTERRA World Champs, Olympic veterans in triathlon, mountain biking, and skiing and other endurance legends.
Pro athletes who wish to compete in Maui should mail their credentials to race director Dave Nicholas at kahunadav@xterraplanet.com.
