  • Comments: Despite the things that went wrong for me I cannot praise this race enough. They plan details you wouldn't even think of. They know there stuff and they run the most enjoyable race you could ever imagine. You should do this race, that simple. It is worth it. It is cheaper than Ironman. Wilmington is beautiful and not expensive to visit, the conditions are great. This race is worth doing in every way and if you don't have equipment failures you will have an amazing finish time here.

  • Comments: This race is well organized and well run by Setup Events. I would highly recommend this race whether it is going to be your first full distance or you are a seasoned veteran. The volunteers were second to none. The aide stations were the best stocked of any I have ever seen. One would have to work pretty hard to get lost at any point in your race from the expo directions, setting up your transition bags at two separate locations, the morning announcements, the swim start crew directions, T1 support, T2 support, to race course support, these folks work hard to make racing as easy as possible.

  • Comments: The race went flawless with little stress on our parts. Transportation was great. Staying at the Hilton was a good choice because it was a block from the finish line. Post event activities were nice. There was a live band, medical tent, warming tent, food, people hanging around, it was very nice. Sunday we went to the post race awards banquet and ate a huge meal. This was by the battleship. A great race, Setup events did awesome, and the Wilmington Family YMCA and PPD were awesome sponsors.

  • Comments: This was my first ironman distance event, and I would strongly recommend this race to beginners. It was a super easy swim, an honest bike, and a very scenic run. The race was really well organized, the food at the athlete dinner and brunch was great, and everyone was really friendly. The lighting on the run was a little scarce, so I would pack a light in my run special needs bag if I did this course again.
