The XTERRA/Ironman Double Contenders

At the upcoming XTERRA World Championships (October 24^th), a number of athletes will also be vying for the Hawaiian Airlines Double Award. Since 1998, Hawaiian Airlines has sponsored the “Double”, awarding cash and free flights to the pro and amateur men and women who race in both the Ironman World Championship and the XTERRA World Championship in the fastest combined time.

Eneko Llanos won the pro men’s Double last year with at total time of 11:15:17 (8:37:55 – Ironman, 2:37:22 – XTERRA). Amy Eck (15:12:58) from Kailua, Hawaii and Arnaud Bouvier (13:38:12) from France won the amateur awards.
