Flora Duffy has arrived in Maui, Hawaii ahead of the XTERRA World Championships scheduled for October 26th.
More than 800 athletes from 40 countries and 40 states, including 80 of the world’s fastest pros, will take to the oceans and mountains of West Maui at the 19th running of the XTERRA World Championships at the Ritz-Carlton.
In the Women’s Race the spotlight shines bright on defending champ Nicky Samuels from New Zealand and 2014 all-star Duffy. Duffy was dominant all year, winning everything she entered except XTERRA Germany where European Tour Champ Kathrin Mueller took the top spot.
Those three should put on quite a show, but you’ve also got Chilean rock-star Barbara Riveros, American greats Emma Garrard and Shonny Vanlandingham, past Euro Tour champ Helena Erbenova, Canadians Chantell Widney and three-time World Champ Melanie McQuaid, and Brit Jacqui Slack.
There is no doubt the field is stacked and the heat is on. It’s Maui or Bust for the World’s best.
