My take on the Event

General Race Comments: 
As expected from one of the best running event organizer; Equip Management who also run the earlier Buff TR and Petzl Night Run 

The trail is mostly flat and very runnable and likely a speedstar heaven. πŸƒ

Event info pre-race/ pre-registration:
Promos were flashy which is good. Earlier queries by FB sometimes are hard to get answer. Contact person number were given

How was the registration & REPC process: 
Online, smooth and easy

Specific mandatory pre-registration/prerequisite comments:
None for TR but theres one on bike category to be able to enter the duathlon

Race site facilities:
Enough portable toilet, big water dispensery to wash post race. Good tent layout with some products sold at site. Ample parking space

Flag-off process:
All categories(21,10,5KMs) were grouped together at the starting and it was bit chaotic. 21km flagoff at 7.30+am after cleared from course marshal

Was the course well-marked, marshaled, and accurate: 
Perfect. Course were well marked but no distance marker. Fully marshaled.

Waterstation/ aid-station
Waterstation at each 3KM for 21KM. They serve sport drinks and mineral water and anana at 1 of the WS which I forgot at which WS. Aid is good

Course-Specific Comments: 
Very runnable with heat will kill you πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜†

Please rate the finish line area and process: 
Great atmosphere, timer by CheckpointSpot, emcee and all, and great supporters. Finisher medal were given immediatelyafter crossing the FL then can collect the finisher tee 

How were the post-race refreshments: 
Food pack and drinks provided. No complaints

Rate the event/ finisher merchandise: 
Nice medal, nice event tshirt and finisher tee by Inov8. Simple and well designed.

Overall, how enjoyable was this event: 
Enjoyed it tremendously from pre to post event. Volunteers and organisers throughout warm and friendly. Ever helpful

Will you attend this event next year:
Definitely!
