XTERRA Trail Run Series

The 2009 XTERRA Trail Run Series features runs across the country ranging from 5km to 25km.
 
The Series is grouped into geographic regions, and each region has anywhere from 3-to-7 races that runners can compete in and accumulate points towards their regional championship. 
 
Regional Champions are awarded free entry into the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship  - an off-road half-marathon to be held on September 13, 2009 in Bend, OR.
 
There are also several Xduro's (endurance trail runs ranging from 18-to-42km in distance) in the U.S.  and each one qualifies runners to compete in both the XTERRA Trail Running National and World Championship events.

XTERRA trail runs have also gone global with off-road half's in such exotic locations as Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, Italy, France, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.  At the end of the year, runner's from all over the world will unite in the majestic Kaaawa Valley at Kualoa Ranch on the island of Oahu for the ultimate Xduro - the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship  on December 6, 2009.
