Athletes can eat and run to a whole new level this October, thanks to a new XTERRA title sponsorship from T S Restaurants of Hawaii and California. Four T S Restaurants on the island of Maui have been named as title sponsors for the XTERRA Kapalua Trail Runs, scheduled for Saturday 22 October, at Kapalua, Maui.
The four events are now known as:
- Hula Grill XTERRA 5K Trail Run
- Duke’s Beach House XTERRA 10K Trail Run
- Kimo’s XTERRA Keiki Run
- Leilani’s XTERRA Run Course and Leilani’s Run Prime Awards
“We at T S Restaurants are pleased to support such a world class organization as XTERRA on our home turf in West Maui,” said Ross Anderson, Vice President of Hawaii Operations for T.S. Restaurants. “We feel like our beachfront restaurants are a natural fit for the XTERRA athletes and their families.”
These running events will be held in conjunction with the XTERRA World Championship off-road triathlon on Sunday 23 October. After 15 previous years in the Wailea/Makena area, the XTERRA World Championship is moving across the island to Kapalua in 2011, which means these four running events will feature brand new courses in lush, tropical settings.
The XTERRA World Championship is the pinnacle event of more than 100 off-road triathlons held in 14 countries, and brings more than 600 athletes to Maui. Last year’s field represented 30 countries and 35 states, and the XTERRA Kapalua Trail Runs offer a chance for everyone to experience the same course as this stellar field.
“We are thrilled to announce T S Restaurants as the title sponsor for our XTERRA Kapalua Trail Runs,” said XTERRA President Janet Clark. “This partnership allows runners from all over the world to compete on a world championship course in a new and unique setting. It is truly a great opportunity for both Maui residents and visitors to the island.”
