The Nissan XTERRA Mountain Championships, an off-road triathlon event and series, will be held in the Ogden/Snowbasin area on Saturday. Pros will compete for a $20,000 purse, and amateur athletes are competing for qualifying spots into October's XTERRA World Championships in Maui.

The event previously was held in Keystone, Colo., and is the latest adventure-type race that is finding Utah's diverse landscape the perfect destination to test athletes.

Everybody loves adventure races, it seems. I'm not sure how good of shape you have to be in to compete in things like this, since I don't think the professionals typically do them.
