Another great event! XS shirts are a bit too large but I've been little all my life. Guess I'm kinda used to shirts not fitting like I prefer. I was only able to find one recycling container. I realize they are a hassle to deal with due to inconsiderate people who don't differe...

Another great event! XS shirts are a bit too large but I've been little all my life. Guess I'm kinda used to shirts not fitting like I prefer. I was only able to find one recycling container. I realize they are a hassle to deal with due to inconsiderate people who don't differentiate, but maybe if a recycling bin was put next to every trash can people might be more considerate

It’s the flattest, fastest sprint triathlon in the north east imo. It’s a little short at 10 miles on the ride but they are a very fast 10. The swim is a full 750 vs others who do 500. The run is almost fully shaded, it’s listed as flat but it’s a trail run for 70% but it ...

It’s the flattest, fastest sprint triathlon in the north east imo. It’s a little short at 10 miles on the ride but they are a very fast 10. The swim is a full 750 vs others who do 500. The run is almost fully shaded, it’s listed as flat but it’s a trail run for 70% but it is a fantastic loop run vs open out and back runs. It is my favorite triathlon, the people, the location (the pizza) are all first class. Know your course, that bike turn back into the park will come faster than you think.

This race/organization runs like a well oiled machine. A few more pot-a-potties near the bike area would be nice. Another orange barrel to mark the course would help with sighting (along the long side of the swim course). Briefing was excellent, and the announcer/DJ was great! Packet pick up was swift, staff really knows what to do to keep things moving. Swim to bike transition seemed long and you had to traverse an area with roots (which they marked), perhaps some outdoor carpet in that area would be better. Bike course was excellent! Lums Pond park road itself needs some help, lots of torn up asphalt on the way back into park. First mile of the run was difficult IMO, lots and lots of roots, personally I had to slow down a lot, (apparently they use this course for the track and field DE Championships as well?) since I mostly train on asphalt. Overall an excellent race, good support, swag etc. I would highly recommend participating, and will be back next year! Thank you all so much!

5th Kinetic event. another fantastic organization. Lums Pond has a particularly awesome course: particularly great swim and shaded trail run. Kinetic knows a thing or two!

The single track train run was congested with sprint and Olympic runners on the course. It was challenging to pass at times. Additionally, would love to see food truck(s) at these races

Overall this is a great race - well organized, nice atmosphere with the people and scenery. The main area for improvement is better monitoring of prohibiting non-participants from being in the transition area. I was blocked three times by two clueless people standing around talking during transition that seemed to be waiting for a friend/family member that was participating. I've done several races with this organization before though, and this seems to be an anomaly. I rated the race a bit low on swag and sustainability because the swag contained a relatively useless item that will sadly go straight to a landfill. My preference would be to receive less stuff if it isn't useful or unique.

Really enjoy this race a lot. The swim is well laid out and has plenty of space for all. Big plus is the owning sun doesn’t interfere with sighting. The bike course is super fast and I like the multiple lap format. Gives you the chance to learn and adjust to the course each time around. The run is ok. A little over 1/3 is trail with lots of roots. The staff and support are terrific as usual with Kinetic. Both years I have done the race I’ve had issues with people retracting their bike in the spot I had. This is the only race that this has ever happened to me at. Could be a lot of first time participants?might be helpful to remind people about racking their bikes in the same spot

I love the location and your production quality but would really appreciate more pavement for the run. I was not expecting so much technical single track and gravel.
