  • Comments: I heard a lot of complaining about the 2012 event here, so I was worried that this would not be a good race. From my experience, the local police and fire dept had all the busy intersections under control, everything started on time and seemed to be well organized, there were plenty of aid stations along the route, and most everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Mark, the RD, was everywhere and a very positive, friendly guy who asked me how my race was. I would definitely do this race again!

  • Comments: I really enjoyed my HITS excursion. Other than the pain of a DNF it was a great weekend race experience. All the organizers were really nice. Everything seemed to go off well without a hitch and the transition area was top of the line. Definitely do this series if you have a chance.

  • Comments: Nothing spectacular about the race other than the nice transition area. I thought they could have used another aid station on the run course, and they only seemed to have warm water at them. I saw sponges on the ground, but none were being given out. So not a bad race, and for the money I'd say I got my value's worth. If they keep the prices the same next year I'll do it again. Marble Falls is a good venue. But I still think having the runners and cyclists on the same course is dangerous, and hope they fix that next year.
