not organized very well

It was cold and windy and the runners were jumping up and down at the start line to get it set-up as it started 15 min. late. I realize the wind was a problem. There were not the gel packs at the aid stations as they said there would be, The hotels were not notified until a couple of weeks before the race, but it turned out fine. We didn't receive information until a week before and the shirts are a yucky color. Other wise we enjoyed watching the buffalo.

Antelope Island 1/2

This was my first race ever. Thoroughly enjoyed myself, very well set up. Was hoping that the shirts and medals would show 2018, though. Looking forward to next year.

Beautiful challenging course

Course was beautiful! A challenging race, but amazing views of the lake and county as youd expect on the island. I love the small races, as it gives me a better chance of placing in my age group!
