Event comments:

This was an amazing race set up. Perfect from start to finish with absolutely no issues at all. I would recomend this to anyone. Also from my wifes point of view, she had a great time, good food, stands for the spectators with tons of shade, music and nice people.

This race went off without a hitch.
