The 2011 XTERRA World Championship recently took place on the island of Maui – right in our neighborhood! We were on scene to watch the world’s most incredible athletes doing their thing (and maybe to catch a glimpse of Lance Armstrong!). The day was perfect – we had warm temps, bright sunny skies and gentle winds. The triathlon course, however, was daunting: A 1.5-kilometer swim, followed by a 30-kilometer mountain bike, then finished off with a 10-kilometer trail run. These athletes were totally amazing!
We knew the XTERRA crowd appreciates a good adventure, so we couldn’t resist the opportunity to take some of the VIPS and media on a teaser zip line tour before Sunday’s race. And so – with helmet cams and Go Pros rolling, we showed them the West Maui Mountains where Kapalua Adventures runs their legendary Maui zip line tours. What a great way to loosen up before a big race!
This marked the first year we played host to the event, and we are ‘xtremely’ proud to be a part of such an amazing competition. Check out the video for some of the highlights – and be sure to come see us at our Maui location to book your own zipline adventure!
