Event comments:

This is a great small town race that gets better every year.
This race does more to support the racers than most of the big races I have been to. Great emails, super pre-race communication, lots of help on race day, and super raffle.
Perhaps my only complaint is that those new to the sport tend to have little to compare their experience to and as a result no know how good a race this is. This race is beginner friendly and goes out of it's way to help first timers.
