OFF-ROAD ADVENTURE IN THE AMERICAS

The 11-stop series for both amateur and professional athletes starts March 23rd at XTERRA Argentina and concludes September 7 with the XTERRA Pan American Championship race in Ogden, Utah. 

ELITE RACING AND AMATEUR QUALIFICATION TO MAUI

Amateur racers have the chance to secure a spot into the 24th annual XTERRA World Championship in Kapalua, Maui at every race. There are 51 qualifying slots awarded at each of the Gold level events in Brazil, Oak Mountain, Beaver Creek, Mexico and Utah, and 26 slots awarded at the Silver level races in Argentina, Chile, Victoria, Quebec and Dominican Republic.

Age groupers also have the opportunity to win the XTERRA Pan Am Tour title which will qualify them for their choice of the 2019 or 2020 XTERRA World Championship race.  The rules are simple, every race counts and most points wins. 

New this year, elite racers count 50% of their races, plus one. If 10 races on Tour, your best 6 scores count, regardless if gold or silver and must include whatever they score – or don’t score – at the championship race in Utah.

Step 1: Identify your Age Group – How old you are on December 31, 2019 determines your age group. We have divisions for men and women 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79 (m), 80+ (m), and Physically Challenged. At the discretion of the race director athletes with an XTERRA age under 15 may participate, but they will not earn points.

Step 2: Race and Score – Enter as many races as you want and score points by finishing in the top 15 of your age group. There are five 100-point scale “Gold” races, and the remainder are 75-point scale “Silver” races. The season is from March to September.

Gold races: Brazil, Oak Mountain, Beaver Creek, Mexico, Utah.
Silver races: Argentina, Chile, Victoria, Quebec, Dominican Republic

Step 3: Must Race Two - You must race at least two (2) XTERRA events during the season to be named the XTERRA Pan American Tour Champion. There is no limit to how many races you can count.

Step 4: Most Points Win - The athlete with the most points at the end of the season - by gender and age group - earns the title of XTERRA Pan American Tour Champion and a qualifying spot into the 2019 or 2020 XTERRA World Championship race.

Step 5: Tie Breaker - If there is a tie in points, the tie-breaker will be the person with the most wins. If still tied after counting wins, the person finishing highest in the most recent race where both competed. If no head-to-head exists, tie-breaker goes to the person finishing highest in most recent race.

Step 6: Qualifying for XTERRA Worlds in Maui - Maui slots will be awarded to XTERRA Pan America Tour Champions at the end of the season, and at every XTERRA Pan America Tour Gold and Silver Event.

2019 XTERRA Pan American Championship: It is not necessary to qualify, nor be from the Pan American region, to race at the XTERRA Pan American Championship, which will double as the XTERRA USA Championship on September 7 in Utah. This is a one-day award as opposed to the Tour Championship which counts all races.

In Utah, the top overall finisher, regardless of nationality, in each age group will be honored as the XTERRA Pan American Champion. The top American in each age group will be named the XTERRA USA Champion.

Physically Challenged Athletes: 
- Physically Challenged athletes may choose to compete in the XTERRA Physically Challenged male/female 
division or in XTERRA age group divisions.  PC athletes must choose whether to race in the PC or age group division at their first race of the season, and remain in that category for the entire year.  
- There are no PC age group divisions (15-19, 20-24, etc…) or disability categories (PT1, PT2, etc…)
- PC athletes who race at least one XTERRA will earn a World Championship slot.
- The male and female PC athlete with the most points at the end of the season earns the title of XTERRA Pan America Champion.  PC athletes must race at least two events to be eligible for Tour honors.

Step 3: The male and female elite athlete with the most points at the end of the season earns the title of XTERRA Pan American Tour Champion. If there is a tie in points, the tie-breaker will be the person with the most wins. If still tied after counting wins, the person finishing highest in the most recent race where both competed. If no head-to-head exists, tiebreaker goes to the person finishing highest in the most recent race.

2019 XTERRA Pan American Championship: It is not necessary for elites to qualify to race at the XTERRA Pan American Championship, which will double as the XTERRA USA Championship on September 7 in Ogden, Utah.
