It was my first time participating in an event like this and the friendliness of the staff made my experience easy and stressless. The boy was a great help that was going around and directing everyone towards the registration desk. I overall had a great day, can’t wait for the next one

Very well organised. Maybe better signs to race start, took us a bit of time to find from station and met others not sure where start was.
