Subject: RE: New Half for 2012? I happened to stumble across this thread. I am one of the race directors with Zone 5 Events that owns the Mountain Madness Triathlon. I just wanted to clarify that this is in no way, shape or form the re-packaging of any event held in North Georgia. The Mountain Madness Triathlon is a brand new event. Zone 5 Events, along with our title sponsor Podium Multisports, have worked hard to make sure this is a production that will be second to none and race that will be a must do for all serious triathletes. We have hired SetUp Events to provide the timing and race day management. As many of you know, SetUp Events is the nation's second largest producer of multisport events and run some of the finest races in the southeast. Our course is tough. This is not a PR race. As fellow athletes, we believe there are plenty of existing events where you can get in your aero-bars and hammer out the miles. We are looking for something more fun. We are giving a King of the Mountain award for the fastest climb up Fort Mountain (a 6 mile climb to the bike turn around). We are also giving awards for every discipline (fastest swim, T1, bike, T2, run) plus some other odd awards that will make the race more entertaining. I could go on about the event all day, as we are very passionate about providing a first class race.
