1.5km ocean swim, 30km lava field mountain bike, 11km technical trail run!

“This race is the ultimate challenge for a full-time working man or woman looking to escape from the mundane and have the adventure of a lifetime.” – Mary Dannelley, American Interbanc

Announcing the 2nd annual CEO Challenge at the XTERRA World Championship in Maui, Hawaii!

Includes an exclusive CEO Dinner with the Pros, Saturday Night of Champions dinner, race entry, Sunday Awards Banquet, and accommodations at the Makena Beach & Golf Resort.

Note – this race is tough! Only for those CEOs who are tough enough to handle biking up and down a volcano, and running a mile in soft sand and over lava rocks. See if you have what it takes to complete the hardest off-road triathlon in the World!

CEO Challenge participants are not required to previously qualify at an XTERRA event to take part.

“Participating in the XTERRA World Championship was the most incredible CEO Challenge that I’ve faced – including the Ironman in Kona! The CEO XTERRA World Championship has to be a “must do” on every CEO’s check list of life accomplishments.” – Rich Kylberg, Communicom Broadcasting
