  • Comments: I like the small, local flavor of this race. It brings some truly fast people out who want to put the pedal to the metal and I love that. It's short enough to not take your whole day and really put some effort into it. I like the simple course and that it tends to run on time. Looking forward to doing it again next year...

  • Comments: This was my first time at this race and it was the usual Ironhead run race. It was definitely a fun, short, fast race.

  • Comments: Solid race. Jack always puts on a good race with the basics covered. I liked that there were only 300 (350?) people. Made for an easy, non complicated race. While it's a short sprint, it was fun. You know you can blow it out from start to finish! It was nice racing inside the park and not dealing with any cars or intersections. The pizza after the race was a great touch. The trophies were nice ones for the winners, thus I gave it a 5.

  • Comments: Get beyond the gruffness of Jack and you see a wonderful race director. He is anal about of lot of things, but when looked at closer they all make the race better for the racers. The only suggestion I would make is to have medals available though I understand that Jack may be trying to keep costs low to him and the racers. Maybe just doing them for AG and noobs.
