XTERRA World’s on 28 Octo­ber at Maui

Tra­di­tion­al­ly 14 days after the Iron­man, the cross ver­sion of the Hawaii triathlon myth will start on Octo­ber 28th on the neigh­bour­ing island of Maui. Over 800 ath­letes are on the starter list. In 40 XTERRA qual­i­fy­ing races world­wide, these ath­letes have qual­i­fied for the high­est qual­i­ty XTERRA race in the world, the XTERRA Hawaii on Kapalua/Maui. 16 of these races are unit­ed in the XTERRA Europe Series. The XTERRA Ger­many at the O-SEE was the flag­ship of the Euro­pean events – one of the three Euro­pean so-called Gold Races, 2018 addi­tion­al­ly with Euro­pean Cham­pi­onship sta­tus. No won­der that a quar­ter of the 66 PRO ath­letes who will com­pete on Maui in 2018 were already on the start­ing line in Zit­tau, with reign­ing XTERRA World Cham­pi­on Bradley Weiss (RSA), New Zealan­der Sam Osborn, Roger Ser­ra­no (ESP) in the lead, French­men Max­im Chane and Fran­cois Car­loni in the men’s sin­gles as well as XTERRA Euro­pean Cham­pi­on Brigit­ta Poor, Austria’s Tour­ing Cham­pi­on Cari­na Wasle and Lizzy Orchard (NZL).
