  • Comments: Xterra, my first and this course definately has some challenges but is not super technical or brutal. It was a fun course in a beautiful location, the multi-loop aspect was nice as well to "know" where you were on the course. Hickory Knob State Park is a perfect setup with the 70+ motel rooms run by the park with a golfcourse + campground, it is perfect weekend getaway. What an awesome experience. Racing in the woods and on the dirt is definately a challenge and hurts but the time just went by so fast and the mind was at ease. The rain at the start kept the temps down too at mid-60's, which is perfect racing weather. The race director did a good job, the course was well marked and easy to follow, plenty of aid stations and the food after with sandwiches, cookies, smores, fruit, etc hit the spot. This was first year race here so a few bugs to workout but overall, it was a great value, great course and some fast competitors. Definately a do-again race.

  • Comments: This was my first triathlon, and it was a wonderful experience. I felt like the group did a good job of putting on the race and keeping things pretty well organized overall. I WILL be back for this one next year. Thanks Multisports Fitness, LLC!
