I want to say this before I say all the nice things…
I did the Duathlon, paid $148.71, drove 2.25 hours to get here and after taking 2nd Place in my age group, I was told awards would be given out at 10 am but they were not until 11:30 am and then I never got my award because they said they don’t give age group awards to people that entered the Duathlon but they gave awards 5 deep to people that did the Triathlon.
I got home and sent the Director a message and she was very nice in her response but to me, it is wrong and is CHEAP. Duathlon athletes are a step above 5K & 10K racers and to pay all that money and then want to not give out a little $3.50 award shows no class on the race director. She is nice but cheap! The running course was on a golf course rather than a road and people had muddy shoes because of the rain the day before and the path was dirt and sand. I might have given high ratings on this event but I will NEVER do it again. Great food, nice finisher medal, and the courses were well marked. Nice tek shirt also.

5K Was on the golf course that had so much loose sand and mud. Then the finish line was down the beach in the sand. yuk! Slowed everyone way down.
