  • Comments: This has got to be one of the best races in the country. Jeff Henderson does a phenomenal job at making this race the best. There are as many volunteers as participants and the variety of food at the aid stations is incredible. You would think you were at an Ironman event only better!!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This race has gotten a lot of good reviews and I agree that they are very organized and everything went super smooth. They also give out a lot of nice swag that I didn't expect. The number of volunteers at the aid stations was really good and I thought it was funny running through them how all the kids were enthusiatic about yelling "water" and "sponges" even though I doubt many people actually wanted sponges when it was raining. What I didn't like about the race was there were not enough bouys in the water especially since it was so choppy. The bike portion through the Army base was not nice and the run course had too much concrete sidewalks that were tough on the legs.

  • Comments: Overall a great race, volunteers were AWESOME. Standing in the pouring rain, cheerfull, supportive and ready to help. Great location. After I finished I said to my wife "That was the first and last HIM I do." I waited awhile to write this as I wanted time to reflect. I now think I will do another because I know I can do better.

  • Comments: Great organization, great volunteers, and a very good venue in the town of Geneva. Their "go green" theme this year was a nice touch. This race was also a great value. The swim needs some interim buoys, and the run course would have been SO MUCH better if they could have kept us off the sidewalks.

  • Comments: I thought that the race was really well run and if any of the volunteers are reading this THANK YOU!!! You folks were awesome, even though you had to hang out in the rain while us slow pokes were still coming in. A special thanks to the kayakers who were extra patient and absolutely in responsive when I was having issues!

  • Comments: Jeff does a great job and I encourage people to sign up for this, even in the rain the aid stations and volunteers were awesome. Spectators were understandably few but more than I expected. The food and trinkets for racers are appreciated, the top notch organization, the number of potties, the directive to pee in my wetsuit are all appreciated!

  • Comments: honestly, the only complaint was the mile markers. The roads aren't closed and it was windy so I suppose that has something to do with it. There were 600 volunteers and 630 participants. 11 aid stations on the run all with water and heed and most with flat coke, clif bloks, hammer gel, sponges, bananas and kids with hoses. I would do it again and highly recommend it

  • Comments: I just want to say Kudos to everyone who helped and volunteered for all the races. My thing is, if I'm not racing I'll volunteer. It's my way of giving back to the sport. I met soo many new people and finally got to hug necks of everyone we've 'typed' to in chat or talked to on the phone from across the country. I miss everyone already and look forward to meeting and racing again with everyone.. Thanks to Bob, Matt, Matt, Kristen, Rick, Tommy, Mike, Mike, Mike, Chris, Ron, Ken and soo many others along our journey. Can't say it enough.. An awesome experience ;)

  • Comments: Phenomenal event. Very well run and the volunteers were great and so eager to help. Late in the run I was yelling for a cup of Coke but there were none ready, some teenage kid poured a cup and chased me down to get it to me. I turned around thanked him profusely and told him he made my day. I will most certainly be back next year.

  • Comments: This is far and above the best run and best organized race I've ever done. It was just awesome. I highly recommend it. There were 3 bands/groups playing on the run course, locals were great, it was just miles ahead of anything else.

  • Comments: If you're looking for a mid summer half iron distance race, look no further. Jeff Henderson and his organization puts on a fantastic race. Extremely well organized, the town supports it in a big way, the course is beautiful, the swag ain't bad, the lake is great and the details are paid attention too. After doing an IMNA 70.3 race in May, I don't see why anyone would want to spend the premium for the MDot on this distance when this race is available.
