XTERRA Heads to Knoxville for Next Run in Trail Series

RACE #3 IN THE 2009 XTERRA TENNESSEE TRAIL RUN SERIES

With just a two week break, the XTERRA Tennessee Trail Run Series will be back on March 14 to host Knoxville’s XTERRA Forks of the River Trail Run.

Starting and finishing at the Ijams Nature Center just minutes from downtown Knoxville, the XTERRA Forks of the River Trail Run will explore 10-kilometers of this park’s wildlife sanctuary. Race director Kevin Mahan describes the course as “beautiful” but gives warning to “watch out for the wild boars.” In any case, runners can definitely expect an off-road adventure.

This will be the third of four races in the 2009 XTERRA Tennessee Trail Run Series leaving runners just one more opportunity to add points to their series total. Athletes with the most points at the end of the series will be crowned XTERRA Regional Champions and receive free entry to this year’s XTERRA Trail Running National Championship in Bend, Oregon on September 13. Following Nationals, XTERRA is headed to the Hawaiian island of Oahu for the XTERRA Trail Running World Championship on December 6. All runners are welcome.

Reminder: The XTERRA Seven Islands 10km Trail Run is also coming up on February 28 in Kodak, Tennessee. For more information about the XTERRA Trail Run Series visit www.xterratrailrun.com.
