In the spirit of ALOHA, XTERRA Hawai'i Island is inspired to design an experience bringing together the native, visitor and host. With full respect to both the Island of Hawai'i and its residents, its colorful and deeply rooted culture and language, and the needs of the future for all, XTERRA and its Hawai'i Island Ohana visualize a collaboration that will celebrate sustainability, participation, preservation, education and inspiration.

We are offering two events, starting with the XTERRA Hawai'i Island Sunset Trail Run, which is a 3.1-mile trail run on Saturday afternoon, August 15th, 2020. The following day,  we offer the XTERRA Hawai'i Island Off-Road Triathlon, with qualifying slots to the XTERRA World Championship on Maui. The race features a 1/2 mile open ocean swim, a 10-mile mountain bike course and a 3.1-mile trail run.

XTERRA Hawai'i Island Off-Road weekend of events will take place August 15-16, 2020 on the lands surrounding Hapuna Beach State Park.  Famous for its beautiful white sand beaches and rugged lands where warrior kings once came to rest and recuperate.  A rare opportunity to traverse these lands while competing in one of the most unique and beautiful places in the world... Moku o Keawe (Hawai'i Island).

We've designed a weekend of off-road events that will tempt a wide variety of participants from beginner to advanced.  XTERRA merges mother nature with triathlon, trail running, and fitness.  It is truly a unique experience to see athletes encouraging each other towards their goals and the finish line.  Afterward, you will be sharing stories of the course, personal challenges, and successes.  For us, as event promoters, it embodies the ALOHA spirit we experience every day on Hawai'i Island.
