I’m doing my third consecutive. Any other STers out there coming? Should we do a swim at Makena Beach on Friday am say 8am? Meet at the picnic table on the South end of the Beach near the Restrooms?
I am in. I think ten people on this forum ride off road.
So this thread should take off like wildfire.
I hope you are wrong about the ten people. It would do a lot of STers some good to expand their horizons. So who else is in on the Friday swim at Makena?
I am in. This shall be my 5th Xterra Maui, and 4th double Worlds - actualy 3rd double, in 2005 I did the triple Worlds.
The host hotel (Maui Prince) was/is scheduled to close mid-late September unless they find a financial backer etc.
I love this race, and the Maui course.
This will be #7 for me…can’t believe it has been that long! Looking forward to it this year. My new Blue Rhyno is not built up yet, should be ready this weekend. We need to have a ST off-road tri clinic to get everybody into the best version of triathlon.
This will be my first trip to Xterra Worlds and I am super excited about it. Any of you Maui veterans have some sage advice to pass along?

this will be my third. Bring more than 1 spare. I had 3 flats last year, but never in the prior 2
“The host hotel (Maui Prince) was/is scheduled to close mid-late September unless they find a financial backer etc.”
I saw this too. I also heard that there are many avenues the Hotel can utilize to remain open. I think a buyer will probably come along before the foreclosure puts them out of business.
Now that we can move on to the other Hawaii race. I’m still on for this Friday at 8am for a ST swim. I’ll wear some Xterra branded gear (shirt/hat etc.) at 8 am at the picnic tables near the restrooms at the South end of Makena Beach. See all there.

Can’t you just wait in the stall at the airport. What’s the signal?
I’ll be there Thursday afternoon through Monday afternoon ‘working’, aka hanging with the AVIA sponsored athletes and giving away some kick ass schwag. If I have your size, you might just be in luck…
I think aimmd is going to try to sneak me on the bike course, too ; )
You weren’t kidding…there really are only (less than) 10 people racing off-road. The rest are missing out.
Yeppers the online community doesn’t really exist for this type of racing. Its unfortunate those who race it know it and love it. It does not get near the attention it should.
This will be my frist trip to Maui (Xterra Worlds) and I’m really excited. It’ll be a great change of pace after a week in Kona.
First time for me as well looking forward to a challenging course and apparently some insane Halloween party the same night

Love Schwag! Or is it Shwag?
I always add the ‘c’ for extra emphasis ; )

Maybe you should swim at Kalama park.
I figuired we’d swim the course we race. Where is kalama?
