Awards Ceremony / After Party

A night to celebrate the season, the champions who defined it, and 30 years of off-road adventure. With local food, live music and a packed house of athletes, families and friends, the Awards Ceremony and After Party offer one final chance to come together in true XTERRA fashion.

Introduction

On the evening following the World Championship race, the XTERRA community is invited to gather in Ruidoso for a culturally-themed night of celebration. The evening features local cuisine, live music and award presentations across all elite and age group categories, as well as a look back at the moments that shaped this historic season.

Set beneath the Sierra Blanca range, the Awards Ceremony honours not only this year’s champions but the shared journey of a global community 30 years in the making. As the official programme draws to a close, the night shifts into celebration, with dancing, music and one last chance to come together before the trails lead us home.
