XTERRA Ontario Off-Road Race Series

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The XTERRA Ontario Points Series is for the sole purpose of determining the awarding of 14 XTERRA World Championship Spots.

This series has also been designated as the Triathlon Ontario Provincial Championships!

Races which are included in this series are:

1. XTERRA ‘Mine’ Over Matter
2. XTERRA Parry Sound

Races which are excluded from this series are:

1. XTERRA Thunder Bay

XTERRA Ontario has been awarded 20 direct entry spots for age groupers into the XTERRA World Championships held on October 29th, 2017 in Maui Hawaii. These spots are awarded to FULL DISTANCE COURSE races only.

Since XTERRA Sleeping Giant is geographically separated from the other two Ontario races 6 Direct Entry Spots have been awarded to XTERRA Sleeping Giant for the Top 3 male and Top 3 female overall finishers.

The remain 14 Spots have been entered into the XTERRA Ontario Points Series consisting of XTERRA ‘Mine’ Over Matter, and XTERRA Parry Sound

Those spots will be divided evenly with 7 going to female racers and 7 going to male racers in 10 year age groups.

Within the genders, the spots will be awarded to individuals who have earned the most points accumulated from XTERRA ‘Mine’ Over Matter and XTERRA Parry Sound combined in 10 year incremental age groups. Please note that you will be competing at the XTERRA World Championships in your 5 year incremental age group.

• If a finisher does not wish to accept the entry, it will then be rolled down to the next highest point earner within that same age group

• If there are no entries within a certain age group, that entry spot will be moved to the largest participant category with in the same gender.

• Winners of Championship Spots will have no longer than 1 week to accept their entry before that spot is rolled down to the next fastest participant within the specified age group.

• XTERRA World Championship Spots will be awarded to Full Distance racers who have earned the most points accumulated from both XTERRA ‘Mine Over Matter and XTERRA Parry Sound in their respective 10 year age categories.

• Ties in points standings will be decided by finishing placement in XTERRA Parry Sound. e.g. Bob and Joe finish the series both with 200 points, the XTERRA World spot will be awarded to who ever finished in a higher placing. Joe finished 23rd overall and Bob finished 42nd overall, Joe will be awarded the spot.
• Pro athletes are excluded from the points series as their qualification for XTERRA Worlds is a validation process and available at all XTERRA Ontario events.
