XTERRA MAKENA BEACH TRAIL RUNS Saturday, October 24 at 8:00 a.m. The off-road adventurous spirit of XTERRA reaches out to the community with the XTERRA Makena Beach 5km and 10km Trail Runs. Both races are open to one-andall, and a benefit for the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Maui County. In an effort to get more participants involved, the 5km is open for walkers too! Awards go to the top three in each age group and the 10km men’s and women’s winners earn roundtrip airfare between the mainland and Hawaii on Hawaiian Airlines. The race starts at the Makena Beach & Golf Resort then quickls ascends up the south slope of Haleakala into a desert-like environment. After a pass though "Cactus Alley", competitors are treated to a run on the white sands of Makena Beach, famed as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The course continues through the "spooky" forest adorned with kiawe trees and leads to a striking black sand beach. The final leg is a balancing act of speed and skill, as runners cross over jagged lava rocks, infamous for grabbing and twisting unsuspecting ankles. Entry is $25 for the 5k and $30 for the 10k and all competitors receive a tee shirt and refreshments. Race day registration is available from 6:30-7:30 a.m. and runners can also sign up at www.xterra<strong>maui</strong>.com or call toll-free to 1-877-751-8880. 8 XTERRA BY NIGHT Maui is a reward for a great season, and as such competitors are treated to a pair of "ono" dinners with the Night of Champions carbo-loading affair on Saturday and the awards celebration on Sunday - complete with highlight videos and special presentations. Both are held under the stars at the magnificent Makena Beach & Golf Resort. On Sunday, it gets scary! The XTERRA Halloween costume party is legendary...Despite the typical post-race banter and antics by delirious athletes, the best-costumed competitor wins Hawaiian Airlines roundtrip tickets for two from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii.
