  • Comments: As far as putting a race on, I've never not done one by Setup Events, and they've all seemed to go well. I really think that they did a remarkable job keeping this one moving and organized with all the point to point stuff. I'll be back to this one, but I'm not sure when.

  • Comments: SetUpEvents is TOP NOTCH. Ironman brand aught to be ashamed of itself. I would recommend this event and any other SetUpEvents branded race to anyone! My husband and I will be back, that's for sure! Volunteers and event staff were out of this world! The people of Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington, NC should be awfully proud of themselves! Bravo!

  • Comments: This is a fun race. Wilmington is a neat little town and I really found the point to point aspect very challenging. I did not like running on the cobblestones though. I was terrified Of twisting my ankle, but that is because I am a clutz. I am very pleased with my physical and mental effort on the bike. I was disappointed in my swim because of my poor navigation and I let myself down on the run. Even if I would have run the same pace and same amount of time, I would have felt like the run was a success if I had executed my pre race plan. Must work on staying strong mentally til the bitter end of an event! And when it was all said and done, I got to take home some hardware. I got 5th Place Masters Female. Nice! My other Malone Coaching teammates all took home hardware in the half. And my coach was the 3rd place overall female in the full iron distance. So it was a very successful day!

  • Comments: This event deserved to be ranked second in the nation. Setup events had everything organized and running on schedule. The magnitude of this race was huge and the logistics must have been crazy (with the two transitions being 8 miles apart). All my bags were where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be there. The volunteers were wonderful. All the aid stations were stocked with enough supplies to get through the race. The law enforcement and DOT people did a good job with traffic control. I did have a couple of instances when I thought the traffic was a hazzard, but that was due to the drivers being idiots and not because of the race. Throughout the entire race there were people yelling their support. It was very motivating to have that many people out there.

  • Comments: What a great race. It is kind of a pain having to worry about all the logistics of separate transition areas but they do a great job keeping things organized. I'm considering coming back for the full next year but I'm going to wait for the soreness to subside before I make any rash decisions!

  • Comments: Unbelievable race. It's my first season but this is definitely my favorite race. I can't get over how many volunteers and supporters there were. Having three different transitions is confusing and having them 8miles apart sucks but they were pretty well organized and except for the transportation leaving the Battleship (which didn't effect me), they did a good job getting people and their bags where they needed to be. I'm definitely going to come back next year!

  • Comments: Loved this race! Despite the crazy dynamics of having two transition areas 8 miles apart plus a separate swim start location... it was organized VERY well. They did a great job of getting everyone and thier gear where it needed to be. Spectator support was awesome and the venue beautiful!

  • Comments: I thought this was a well organized and well run race. There were plenty of volunteers and spectators. But it is a hard race for spectators (having to deal with moving from T1 to T2). And after the race, it takes forever to get back off the island to downtown Wilmington. We stood in line for over an hour to ride the water taxi back to get to our car.
