  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • 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.

  • Comments: Last year I believe I turned around too soon on the bike, but this year I didn't. The course was better manned so that a mistake couldn't happen. There is still a bit of confusion regarding team participation. When we picked our packets up, we were told that I should wear one number, and Emily should wear the other. This resulted in a computer mix-up, and our team appeared to have a DNF on the run. I spoke to the computer guy, and he straightened it out, but only after the awards were announced. I think we would not have had this problem if we had worn the same number. If they don't get the results, including splits posted on their website this year, I will be unlikely to do this race again. Last year they never did post the splits. They seem to do well putting the race on, but really, really, (did I say really) lousy at follow up.
