No other triathlon compares to this. Keep in mind I do this race each year as part of a relay team. Still, the quality of this race is undeniable.
From the fantastic expo, to the amazing location, this race is great and very well organized. Even first time athletes would have no issues navigating through this race.
This is also the most populated race so be prepared to meet lots of new people. And the scenery is fantastic. I have ran both the international relay and the sprint relay distances and both are flat, fast and right on the water!
The training seminars are worth attending and even requir d which I love! And the race expo is huge with tons of new vendors each year. I like that they take safety so seriously as they had to reduce the international running distance this year due to the heat!
The medals are some of the best in the country and can be compared to ragnar race medals in terms of size and quality.
I highly recommend this race to any athlete!
