XTERRA Trail Series Makes First Stop at Muleshoe

RACE #1 IN THE 2010 XTERRA TEXAS TRAIL RUN SERIES

XTERRA heads to Spicewood on April 17th for its season opener in the 2010 XTERRA Texas Trail Run Series. Just 22 miles northwest of Austin, athletes will find event host Muleshoe Bend Recreational Area which race directors Mike Carter and Julie Hogenmiller of Race Revolutions describe simply as “sweet Texas Hill Country. If you’ve never been out to Muleshoe, these trails along the bluffs of Lake Travis are really some of the prettiest in Texas.”

The Pure Austin Fitness Muleshoe Trail Run features two off-road adventures – the main 22km event along with a fun run at just half the distance. Both races will travel along the Lone Star State’s spring-fed creeks and towering cypress trees as they navigate the 99% single track bike course featured in the next day’s off-road triathlon event. Between Saturday’s trail runs and Sunday’s multi-sport race, Muleshoe truly has something for every adrenaline rush seeker. And bring the whole family for an XTERRA-filled weekend. Spicewood has become a favorite recreational destination for water sports, fishing, and hunting.

This is the first of three races in the brand new 2010 XTERRA Texas Trail Run Series. Top athletes in each age group will be awarded points to start off their season totals. Those finishing the series with the highest scores will be crowned XTERRA Regional Champions and win free entry to the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship on September 18th in the trail running mecca of Bend, Oregon. From there, Texans will be invited to say aloha to the beautiful Hawaiian island of Oahu for the December 5th XTERRA Trail Running World Championship.
