The Xterra East Championship
Richmond, Va., June 10
The Xterra East Championship is famous for its awesome single-track, technical swim and location right within the heart of a big city—a rare occurrence in the Xterra series. Indeed, Richmond boasts 1,500 acres of parkland as well as a revitalized downtown area and hipster scene. Xterraplanet.com/races
