It needs polish from the transition area to the actual course, particularly the swim. I think they have made some changes so it may be better after the 2016 edition of the race. But I first ran this race in 1989, and again in 1990, and it was very well done then, better than in 2016, oddly, and I think the 1989 edition was maybe only its third or fourth year.
Although it is out in a rural area the spectators around the finish line were great, and it’s a fun local race if you are local. But certainly not a race you want to drive more than an hour’ish to do. I would do this race again, I do enjoy it, and it seems to draw a lot of the same locals each year. I am only 30 minutes from the race location.
