• Comments: A great event! The course itself isn't too exceptional, but the volunteers and organizers are top notch. From packet pickup to the awards ceremony it felt like everyone involved in the race went above and beyond what you might at expect at a typical race. I think because the race is in memory of Matt Mason those all involved have a personal vested interest in seeing this race do well, and it shows in their attitude. They genuinely appreciate you're there to race. I enjoyed the prerace prayer, national anthem, gun salute, and Chinook flyover as well.

• Comments: Great race in memory of Matt Mason, a SEAL who lost his life almost a year before this race. There was a heavy AMERICA theme for the race, and included an American Flag rundown to the finish line, some helicopters, and TONS OF LOCAL INVOLVEMENT, Matt's parents handed out the awards, and I was honored to meet them. Very great race, and I will consider it in the future.
