  • Comments: Extremely organized race with tons of volunteers. Really enjoyed the race and the amount of family activities that were planned. The only thing I disliked about the running course is that you finished by running across a sandy beach, which is very dangerous. I almost rolled my ankle while approaching the finish line. I felt bad for all of the 1/2 IM people b/c they had to run across the sand two times.

  • Comments: This was an awesome event! The shwagg was great - shirt, hat, tote bag, metal water bottle, towel, and metal! The festival was a blast - relaxing by the beach w/ homemade ice cream, margaritas, beer, and all kinds of good food. Everything was super well organized and the expo was very cool. The park is beautiful. All of the volunteers were wonderful and the results were posted online same day. You can't beat this one!

  • Comments: Overall, I was really happy with this performance. I wanted to finish in 3 hours, thinking it would actually be 3:05-3:10 so I was really happy to see 2:50. With a couple of changes, I think I'll be able to break 2:45 next year :)

  • Comments: 5 stars to Keith the RD, they put on a hell of a race. Best Schwag of any race I have done. Plenty of food for both participants and spectators. Wonderful park to have the event in. My kids were there for 8+ hours for 2 days in a row and they had a great time. The kids zone was very popular and plenty of activities for them to do. Very proud of my wife for finishing her first HIM on Sunday, not the easiest course in the world but she did it! My son won the 6 and under pie eating contest (he tied with another kid) and won a towel and some kind of light up bouncing ball. The kids race participants got a nice shirt and volunteers handed them a rubber race medal and a bottle of water when they crossed the finish line My only complaint was that 2 of the roads were pretty crappy to ride on but you have to deal with that kind of thing at a lot of races.

  • Comments: EndorFUN runs really great races, and this was no exception. Plenty of food, support, activities, etc. both days. Even though I got a flat, I was happy with my performance on the course, which was plenty challenging but not too hard.

  • Comments: As usual this was a top-notch race weekend. Great goody bag, great venue, great organization. I think my only complaint was the traffic situation on the last 1/2 mile or so of the bike course. Both lanes of traffic were open and there were cars parked on the opposite side so things were very tight. There was no room to pass and some people were willing to do dangerous things to gain that extra 10 seconds. It could mean the difference between being 30th and 31st in your age group. Very important...

  • Comments: Amazing race. Keith Jordan races are the best and his organization is top notch. At the awards ceremony he remembered I posted on BT I had my arm injured which tells me how much he cares about the races and participants and he posts here and other forums.

  • Comments: This was my second Mooseman, and I had just as much fun, if not more this time around. Raced on Saturday, volunteered on Sunday, one of my favorite races of the year, I'll keep coming back as long as it's around. Thanks Keith, the volunteers, and everyone at EndorFUN for putting together a great race. ***fair warning*** - I am already prepared to Bust a Mooove next year!
