  • Comments: This is a GREAT beginner race...its a big race atomosphere, but cozy enough that beginners feel good. I would highly recommend this race to a newbie. I also cannot rave enough about the venue...its was just amazing...and the volunteers were fantastic. Lots of support from fans...and I was there by myself...so that helped me. Definitely worth signing up for...I know I will. Maybe for the amateur challenge!
