I enjoyed the event and would recommend to others however, I found the distance markers and directions confusing and had to ask Marshall’s for help. I understand this might be difficult with multi-distance events, but feel it could be improved.

A well organised event that was able to put on multi distances on the same course without any issue. First time I have experienced the issue of a number electronically at the race. I imagine this saves a significant amount of time both pre race and at the collection table.
