With trails winding through pine forests and the clear waters of Grindstone Lake, Ruidoso, often described as "Living in Nature's Playground," is more than just a race location. It's a family-friendly destination surrounded in time-honored traditions and filled with legendary historical characters, famous forts, and rich cowboy folklore. This brand-new World Tour edition is where the XTERRA Community meets the hospitality of Lincoln County, New Mexico for a weekend of adventure.
Join us and be part of a fantastic international event weekend with some of the best athletes from all over the world swimming, biking, and running right in Ruidoso. We are looking for groups or individuals to serve as course marshals and sweeps, help with timing, and hand out recovery at aid stations.
Volunteers will get an event t-shirt, food, and the undying gratitude of the XTERRA family. Please email americas@xterraplanet.com if you or your group are interested in a fun day on the trails.
We hope to see you there!
Ruidoso is located in southern New Mexico, between Alamogordo and Roswell. The nearest airport with commercial air service is in Roswell, with International airports in Albuquerque (ABQ) and El Paso (ELP), each about 150 miles away.
