The 35-year-old men's winner overcame a cut on his foot to win his fourth race in five attempts in Richmond. The 35-year-old McQuaid won for her second year in a row, and third Richmond victory altogether.

McQuaid led throughout her race, while Stoltz overcame a cut on his foot shortly before the start of the event.

The Atlantic Cup is the fifth of eight XTERRA Cup championship races that culminate Sept. 26 for the national championship in Utah.
