King, Meyerhoff take Kualoa XTERRA titles
Max King won the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship for the third consecutive year today at Kualoa Ranch. King, who is from Bend, Ore., completed the 12.9-mile course in 1 hour, 16 minutes, 36 seconds.
King is 6-0 in the last six major XTERRA trail run races — three consecutive victories in the national championship race, and now three consecutive wins in the world championship race.
In the women’s race, Sally Meyerhoff of Arizona took the victory in her first try.
Meyerhoff normally enters road races (she is the American record holder for a 10-mile road race), but she proved her worth on the tricky trails of Kualoa Ranch. She completed the course in a women’s record time of 1:28:58, which was good for ninth place overall, and nearly 8 minutes ahead of the next female.
King and Meyerhoff each received $2,000.
