The 2011 XTERRA East Championship race has a new presenting sponsor – Luck Stone Corporation. Luck Stone is one of the few remaining privately held, family-owned and operated mid-size companies in our region and in surface mining industry.
 
“We can’t thank Mayor Jones, Councilman [Doug] Conner, the local community and Luck Stone enough,” said Dave Nicholas, the managing director of XTERRA.  “Over the last 12 years thousands of athletes have experienced Richmond in a very unique way and walked away with great stories to tell about their adventures. With Luck Stone’s support we can provide that opportunity to thousands more in the coming years and continue to perpetuate Richmond’s reputation as being a remarkable city with top notch trails.”
 
This will be the 13th year for XTERRA in Richmond, and the River City is widely regarded as the sport’s finest urban adventure. Events include the XTERRA Fugitive 10k trail run, the XTERRA Richmond half-marathon trail run, free kids races, free clinics taught by pro athletes, the Paul Mitchell Cut-a-thon to raise money for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, and two off-road triathlons – a half-distance XTERRA Sport race (perfect for newcomers) and the XTERRA East Championship.
