Since October of last year thousands have taken part in the XTERRA U.S. Trail Run Series and through the trials of these 50 races, spanning 15 states from coast-to-coast, some of the country’s top trail runners have emerged and are headed to Bend to race for the XTERRA Trail Running National Championship.
Having been called “America’s Best Trail Running Town” by the editors of Outside Magazine, Bend is certainly worthy of hosting the nation’s top harriers.
The main event is an off-road half-marathon (13.1 mile/21km) that starts in the historic Old Mill District. While the Series best runners have already proven their worth in rollicking races around the nation, one-and-all are welcome to take them on and race for the championship as no qualification is necessary.
