  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Organizers did not enforce swimmers to line up according to number. Swimmers in my section of line were completely out of order. Overall challenging course with very hilly bike. Felt a little strange running through a cemetary, but hey, there's a first time for everything. Pre race meal the night before was included and unexpected when I went to pick up my packet. This was a great plus for me since I was out of town. Race t-shirt was a dissapointment. It was cotton, not tech. I think we worked hard enought for a tech t-shirt. Would be willing to pay more for nicer shirt. Post race rood was good. Really appreciated the ice cold washclothes they were giving out!

  • Comments: Nice race. It's always done well for a small event. There was a big snafu this year though that has never happened at this race before. A course volunteer misunderstood the directions. The out and back course went through the local stadium and this meant that we did 2 laps of the stadium total. She was telling runners to lap it twice on the way out and twice on the way back! I don't know how many people did this, but none of us at the front did it. It underscores the speech the USAT official gave us at the start...we must know the course and the race director is the only one that can tell us the course has changed...and beyond that we aren't to accept the word of ANYONE on the course, not even cops....

  • Comments: This race course was designed for me. Short swim, really super hard bike, medium run. The RD did an AMAZING job given how cheap the race was. I would be willing to pay a little more for a few more bells and whistles and/or to give more to the charity. I will be back for sure!!
