Having the photographers out there and making it known in advance of the obstacle was great. Further, having the high quality photos online one day later was even more awesome. The only thing I wish is that there were more of them out there on the course. 2 more obstacles would've been fantastic. I would recommend moving the starting line ice bath photographer out onto the course. Those photos would be much more valuable to the racers.
I like that it didn't feel ultra-competitive and rather it was fun and the participants being nice and courteous to each other. Much better vibe than a Spartan race.

I do think it is really nice that you guys include some pictures at no cost to the participants. I think it is fun to be able to show people who have not participated what it is. You’re actually doing I appreciate not having to pay extra for a few photos
I actually thought the way you did. The course was very nice plenty of uphills, but also some even ground to let those of us who also like to run get some good run in.
My reason for not running another event is more location and distance for me to get to the event. I think you guys do a great job and the events are a lot of fun.

Loved that it was in a different direction/different path than previous year. Loved all the new obstacles but missed some of the obstacles that were there the year before. Of course can't have the same ones every year but the change up is what makes it great
