7:00pm Video Highlights

The Paul Mitchell XTERRA Trail Run National Championship returns to the beautiful Snowbasin Resort near

Ogden, Utah. This year’s event is scheduled for Sunday, September 18 and will once again attract some of the

best trail runners from across the country.

The Paul Mitchell XTERRA Trail Run Nationals was staged at Snowbasin Resort for the first time in 2011, and it

received rave reviews from the runners. Max King of Bend, Oregon, won his fifth consecutive XTERRA Trail Run

National title in 2012, and said of the course at Snowbasin Resort: “I love my hometown of Bend, but this was, I

gotta say, a great course. It was a lot more climbing than we get in Bend, so this was tough.”

Runners of all ages and skill levels can participate in the Paul Mitchell XTERRA Trail Run National Championship, as

there is no qualifying process. Last year, close to 500 trail runners from 30 different states gathered at Snowbasin

Resort for the event.

There will be three different courses to accommodate the various levels of runners. A 21-kilometer half-marathon

course will serve as the national championship course, but there will also be a 10K and a 5K.

Every age-group winner from the 21K course will be awarded a free entry to race at the 2016 Paul Mitchell XTERRA

Trail Run World Championship at Kualoa Ranch, Oahu, Hawaii.

The top five overall males and top five overall females from the 21K course will also receive prize money. Medals

and other prizes will also be awarded to the top age-group runners from all three courses.

The Paul Mitchell XTERRA Trail Run Nationals will be held one day after the XTERRA Pan American Championship

off-road triathlon to create the ultimate XTERRA racing weekend. The two events will bring more than 1,000 of the

nation’s very best amateur and professional triathletes and trail runners to Northern Utah to battle for the title of

XTERRA National Champion.

GENERAL RULES

Competitors must display their run number on the front of their body. No advertising stickers, writing, cutting

up to $500 deducted from prize money and/or time penalties from 2 minutes.

Number holders are permitted.

http://www.powerbar.com/http://www.gatorade.com/

GENERAL RULES-continued

Cutting the Course: Short-cutting and/or cutting trail switchbacks on course is not permitted and may

result in disqualification. All athletes are required to stay on the designated trail that is marked as the

race course. It is the athlete’s responsibility to know the designated race course. Lack of tape or

barriers on the course will not constitute an excuse for cutting the course.

Protests of any nature must be submitted within one hour of the finish time of the person lodging the protest.

Protests must be submitted in writing and signed by the accuser. Saying somebody cut the course is not

good enough - it must be written and described as accurately as possible. All protests will be investigated.

Because of the nature of XTERRA, it is not always possible to see infractions. XTERRA is in the woods, out of

sight and marshaled only where necessary. In every case there will need to be verification of the infraction.

Officials will not be drawn into a “hear-say” argument.

Competitors may not use inline skates or other devices, human or otherwise powered, to assist them in

running.

No headphones of any kind are permitted while competing.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

COURSE MARKINGS

The course will be clearly marked using a mixture of core flute signs and red arrows as well as bright tape tied to

trees to re- assure you that you are going the right way.

Please watch out for course signage along with our course marshals who will be pointing you in the right direction.
