Swim: Swimmers be prepared to challenge yourself with Beach Runs! The race will feature a water start following a clockwise swim course. In true XTERRA format swimmers will exit the water and run to the “Shoe Mat” near the JTL Timing tent, then swimmers will face the trail hill climb up to Transition at Kohala Garden, The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort. There are thorns and rocks in this trail run up to transition and we require all athletes to wear protective footwear for safety reasons.
Mountain Bike: The Bike Course is set as 2 five mile off road trail loops in the Hills above Hapuna Beach with 2 Aid Stations, 1 Bike Tech Tent, 2 Med Tents, and a Wrist Band Station. Rocks, Sand, Lava and KIAWE awaits. Thorn proof tires are a must if you want to get through the bike course without testing your tire changing skills. Please be aware of the DISMOUNT & PORTAGE Signs on the Bike Course. All Bikers must be prepared to dismount and portage their bike in sections with these signs for safety reasons. When bikers turn onto Old Puako Road they are required to ride in the shoulder and obey all traffic laws, this road is open to traffic. The Old Puako Road section is a NO
PASSING ZONE. Athletes who are caught passing will be immediately disqualified. When making the turn for the 2nd Loop, there will be a Wristband Station, all athletes are required to take 1 blue wristband before commencing the 2nd loop. Athletes who have a blue wristband and have completed both loops will be directed to the Bike Finish and Transition.
Trail Run: Scenic and Brutal. The 2 loop 3.1mile Trail Run will not disappoint. More Rocks, Sand, Lava and Kiawe. Plus the amazing energy of the Ocean guiding your way. There will be 1 Aid Station and Wristband Station at one of the turn around points. Runners will be required to take 1 red wristband at the Wristband Station before commencing the 2nd loop.
