Following each of the weekend's World Championship races, the respective XTERRA communities are invited to gather in Ruidoso for celebrations of culture and sport.
Full distance athletes will be honored after Saturday's race, and the Youth champions will take their turn on the podium following Sunday's events.
Both evenings feature local cuisine, live music and award presentations, as well as a look back at the moments that shaped this historic season.
Saturday's ceremony will end with an After Party filled with dancing and music, while Sunday's ceremony will conclude with the closing ceremony and one last chance to come together before the trails lead us home.
Set beneath the Sierra Blanca range, the Awards Ceremonies honor not only this year’s champions but the shared journey of a global community 30 years in the making.
