XTERRA Races

Uncover nature one root, rock, and mud puddle at a time with the XTERRA America and XTERRA World Tour. The 2010 Schedule lists the most worthy places for adventure, from the urban cityscape of Richmond, VA to the tropical jungles of Saipan. There are races at sea level and altitude, with swims in lakes, rivers, and oceans - in big cities and small towns - from the desert to the mountains.

XTERRA Trail Runs remind you it's more fun to run off-road. Hop across rocks, soar across streams, zig-zag your way along a mountain trail. Be a kid again and rediscover your super-charged sense of adventure and wonder. XTERRA hosts Trail Run races in major cities across the country. Proceeds from each benefit local charities.

This year, go someplace new and have some fun. Live more.

TEAM COMPETITION IS BACK IN 2010

For the second straight year XTERRA is hosting a "bragging rights" driven competition for teams at XTERRA regional events.

At the XTERRA West Championship you can expect the friendly but fierce battle to include squads from MelRad's Racing Team, Cody Waite's EPC Squad, Cal Zaryski's CSR team, and an XTERRA Ambassadors squad.

This is how it works: Teams designate four amateur athletes from at least three different divisions (all men, all women, co-ed, it doesn't matter).

Enter as many 4-person teams as you want (ex. Melrad 1, Melrad 2, etc..). You must hand race director Dave Nicholas the names and age groups of your four designated racers prior to the race start.

Each of the teams four designated racers will be scored on their finishing position in their division with points as follows: 1st (100), 2nd (90), 3rd (82), 4th (75), 5th (69), 6th (63), 7th (58), 8th (53), 9th (49), 10th (45).

In addition, each member will receive an additional point for every finisher in their division (ex. Joe Schmo finishes 1st in the 35-39 age group = 100pts, and there were 15 finishers in the 35-39 division, so Joe's score is 100 + 15 = 115).

Add together all four team members’ scores and the squad with the most points wins.

2010 XTERRA America Tour

The 2010 XTERRA America Tour is comprised of 65 races in 35 states.  Among these events are 60 XTERRA Point Series races (XPS) and five XTERRA Championship Series (XCS) races - also known as the XTERRA U.S. Pro Series.  Note that amateurs are also welcome at XCS events, and can earn more points at these races because, generally, participation is higher and the courses are tougher.  XTERRA Championship races qualify age groupers to race at the 2010 XTERRA World Championships with 35 slots available at each event.
