The XTERRA Trail Running World Championship is an off-road half-marathon scheduled for December 4, 2011 on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The event will also host 5km and 10km trail runs, a free OC 16 kids race, an adventure walk, great food and stunning scenery.
Some of the world’s fastest trail runners will be onsite competing for $10,000 in prize money which is awarded to the top 7 men and women. Everyone who conquers the half-marathon championship course will earn a finisher’s medal, as well the top three in each age group for every distance.
The spectacular Kualoa Ranch is a 4,000-acre working cattle ranch reaching from the steep mountain cliffs to the sparkling sea and the terrain varies from dense rainforest to broad open valleys and from beautiful white sand beaches to awesome verdant cliff faces. The epic nature of Kualoa Ranch has inspired television shows and Hollywood films such as Jurassic Park, Windtalkers, Pearl Harbor, Godzilla, Tears of the Sun, 50 First Dates, and LOST.
