XTERRA World Championship

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.

 

Last year Eneko Llanos from Spain captured the men’s championship and Julie Dibens from the UK won the women’s crown for the third year in a row.

 

This year’s pro field is perhaps the most talented in race history. 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 are 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. 

 

Pro athletes who wish to compete in Maui should mail their credentials to race director Dave Nicholas at kahunadav@xterraplanet.com.

 

Hawaiian Airlines Double
The Hawaiian Airlines “Double” award is given to the pro and amateur man and woman with the fastest combined 2010 XTERRA World Championship and Ironman Hawaii Championship time, a feat reserved for the world’s leading endurance athletes.  Hawaiian Airlines pays $2,500 to the pros and presents the amateur winners with round trip tickets for two from the U.S. mainland to Maui. Last year Eneko Llanos won the “Double” for the fourth consecutive year.
