The Course in Maui

October 14, 2016/in All, All Triathlon, Maui /by XTERRA
The XTERRA World Championship starts with a 1.5-kilometer rough water swim at D.T. Fleming Beach fronting the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua. The mountain bike is one big 20-mile loop with 3,500-feet of climbing that goes up-and-down the lower slopes of the West Maui Mountains more than a dozen times, and the run features a whole lot more climbing (1,200-feet) along dirt trails, through oleander forests, and into 60-foot high ironwood evergreens.

To get a better feel for what the course is like we asked some of the pros what they thought…

Suzie Snyder, USA – “I think the course is challenging and there’s no faking any weakness you might have, right from the start in the swim. The rough ocean swim can take a lot out of you if you’re not strong in the water, the bike course is well rounded with hard climbs, descents, some technical challenges that require good skills, and of course some places that are wide open where you can show off your fitness. The run course is relentless in the climbing, which demands as much mental toughness as physical and can break your spirit if you let it.”

Bradley Weiss, RSA – “I love it. I am a smaller athlete who loves going uphill in any format and Maui has plenty of climbing.”

Carina Wasle, AUT – “If you go fast all courses are hard. Here it is lots of climbing, which I really prefer. When you come to the top you think yeah it’s downhill now, but it is still a very long way to go and there are some more climbs to do. The hardest part for me are the never-ending last 8km on the single trail. The little climbs and all the corners need lots of concentration and with tired legs that hurts a lot. My favorite part is the run. It is very beautiful and just awesome to run.”

Branden Rakita, USA – “It’s very demanding. The swim is usually choppy and the shore break can really toss you around if there is a good swell. The bike course will really test your fitness and your ability to dose out your effort. The last couple miles you get a little check to see how well you can handle your bike when you are tired. The run is brutal for the first half with all the climbing, you just want to get in to a good rhythm and keep hydrated and try to stay as cool as possible. then I get to my favorite part with the downhill, you can really fly if you have the legs weaving through the trees and jumping and ducking underneath others.”

Lesley Paterson, GBR – “It’s tough, it’s gritty, it’s got loads of climbing and definitely the strongest athlete wins on the day. There’s nowhere to hide!”

Courtney Atkinson, AUS – “It’s just brutal and hard, but fun. You can lose a lot of time in the second half of the race if you’re not prepared.”

Kara LaPoint, USA – “The Maui course brings so many unique challenges, from the difficulty of the course itself with big, relentless hills – and lots of them! – to the environmental challenges of heat and humidity – to the rough water of the ocean swim, to the extra pressure of this being the World Championship race.”

Francisco Serrano, MEX – “It’s the beauty of Hawaii that I love, nice ocean swim, hard bike and run.”

Jacqui Slack, GBR – “The course improves every year, the bike course continually becomes more challenging and it’s exciting to see what changes there will be.”

Sam Osborne, NZL – “The course is tough, there’s no doubt about that and with the heat mixed in, it makes for a really hard day. The favorite part is the racing, live for that stuff.”

Maia Ignatz, USA – “I love this course. It’s Maui, it’s beautiful, yet brutal, it is a true test of your fitness and perseverance. It’s World Championship worthy.”

Quick Facts on XTERRA Worlds

October 14, 2016/in All, All Triathlon, Maui /by XTERRA
WHAT IS IT: The world’s premier off-road triathlon, combining a 1.5-kilometer (1-mile) swim that starts at D.T. Fleming Beach in front of the Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua … a 32-kilometer (20-miles) mountain bike that climbs 3,500 feet up and down the lower slopes of the West Maui Mountains, and a 10.5-kilometer (6.5-miles) trail run that traverses forest trails, and beach sand. Top pros finish in roughly two-and-a-half hours.

WHO RACES IN MAUI: A sold-out field of 800 racers including 75 professionals and more than 700 amateurs representing 46 countries, ages 14 (Bowen Satterthwaite) to 79 (Ron Hill). 95% of the field is from out of state. See Competitor Stats below.

WHEN: The XTERRA World Championship starts at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 23. The XTERRA Kapalua Trail Runs are on Saturday, Oct. 22 at 9:00 a.m.

WHERE: At The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua on Maui’s northwest coast.

WHY: The XTERRA World Championship race is the last in a series of more than 100 off-road triathlon races held in 30 countries and 38 U.S. States. The concept is to provide a bona-fide world championship for amateur and elite off-road triathletes. For pros there is $100,000 in prize money at stake.

HOW THEY QUALIFIED: Pros must race an XTERRA World Tour event & amateurs enter through one of four means:
1. Earn a slot by qualifying as one of the top finishers in their age group at an XTERRA Championship race in the Philippines, South Africa, Saipan, Costa Rica, Argentina, Malta, New Zealand, Reunion Island, Australia, Malaysia, Brazil, Greece, Tahiti, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, France, Italy, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Poland, Sweden, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and Alabama, Colorado, and Utah in the United States. For those “lucky-you-live-Hawaii-guys” there was a local qualifier, XTERRA Freedom Fest at Kualoa Ranch on Oahu.
2. Won their regional championship during the course of the XTERRA America Tour.
3. Age Group Champions from the previous year were provided a slot to defend their crown.
4. The at large drawing – a limited number of slots were offered on a first-come first-serve basis in December, 2015.

XTERRA BACKGROUND: This is the 21st year for the XTERRA World Championship on Maui, the birthplace of off-road triathlon. The first XTERRA race was held here on November 3, 1996 and was televised on Fox Sports Net. The demand for the sport of XTERRA exploded thereafter and there are now more than 50,000 competitors from all 50 states and more than 50 countries worldwide.

TELEVISION: This will be the 21st straight year a nationally (now internationally) broadcast one-hour show will be produced on the event, which showcases Maui’s natural beauty. The 2016 XTERRA World Championship will be seen by more than six million viewers via national syndication (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX), Fox Sports Network, ESPN International, and European distribution. This year’s show will start its run in national syndication in mid-January 2017. In addition, the award-winning XTERRA Adventures TV series, XTERRA USA and World Championship broadcasts are available as a video subscription for Prime members on Amazon Video. Four seasons (32 shows) of the half-hour episodes of XTERRA Adventures, and the 2012-through-2015 XTERRA USA and World Championship triathlon races are available now and 2016 shows will be added soon.

ECONOMIC IMPACT: Direct visitor expenditures from the 2015 XTERRA World Championship were $6 million. The average length of stay on Maui is 6.8 nights (8.5 nights in Hawaii), the average party size is 2.7, and 56% of the field had a household income of more than $100,000 (expenditure source: DBEDT and post event online survey).

HOW TO WATCH: Log on to www.xterramaui.com for race information and race coverage starting at 9am Hawaii time (12pm PST, 3pm EST, 9pm in Paris, 6am in Sydney, and 4pm in Rio). Also on twitter @xterraoffroad, #xterramaui and on Facebook.
