Juergen Fehrenbach, XTERRA Warrior

Since 2003 XTERRA has honored a member of its Tribe that has shown exemplary courage in the face of adversity, gone above and beyond to help the greater community or personified the “Live More” spirit.  This year’s “XTERRA Warrior” award winner was Juergen Fehrenbach, who started with XTERRA many years ago in his hometown of Titisee, Germany.

This big bear of a man raced all over Europe and comes to Maui every year.  He is totally loyal to our sport,  fights for XTERRA like no other, and travels, races and supports with no expectations.

Fiercely German and very proud of his Black Forest roots,  Juergen likes things organized and in order.  He knows where every car wash with the super hose is and keeps his equipment spotless.  He steps in when other athletes are out of control and takes care of accommodations, tickets, deposits…  He loves to drive his big black Mercedes with any number of bikes, wetsuits and other gear spread over on top and inside.

For Juergen, sport and fitness have to do with nature, not a gym or fitness center.  He would rather hike the hills around the lake, climbing a thousand feet than stay an hour on a treadmill.

For years of support behind the scenes and in front we honor Germany’s Juergen Fehrenbach – an age grouper in the race, but a Pro Warrior in life.  Watch video tribute.
