q XTERRA came into existence on the island of Maui six years ago as a combination of a triathlon and mountain biking. XTERRA is now the fastest-growing multi-sport event in the world and mountain biking is a phenomenon, which is enjoyed at all times of the year.
XTERRA respects the needs of athletic people who lead an active lifestyle and who enjoy the adrenaline rush. The event covers all age groups of these outdoor fanatics.
The cycling courses a tough physical challenge as well as the skill of the competitors. The cyclists have to bike along the ridges of volcanoes, rocky or sandy hills from which they hurdle down steep drops. It's the biggest challenge for each competitor. The running portion leads through hilly terrain with extreme climbs and drops.
The new technical logo is often accompanied with the phrase: „live more“ and it expresses the XTERRA lifestyle for a wide population.
Currently, there is a few dozen races where the biggest and the most prestigious events are tied together under the title XTERRA GLOBAL TOUR (USA, Saipan, Brasil, Mexico, RSA, Japan, New Zealand, France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Great Britain, Germany and Czech Republic), and qualify athletes for the XTERRA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP in Hawaii.
