Well done Threshold events. It was a very well organized event. Absolutely fantastic. They moved a 1000 people around without any problems. Pit stops were well stocked. Crew was absolutely fantastic. Super helpful, encouraging, cheering you on. The campsite was clean and everything to make it as comfortable as possible.

All in all everything was great. I will be back.
