Coming to Wilmington from Australia for a race was probably the furthest I have travelled and possibly the most random location. I was hoping to get a uniquely American racing experience and feel like this race delivered. A true point-to-point race with over 3000 athletes meant it had that big race buzz while still maintaining a local race feel. The on-course support on the run was amazing with lots of Halloween themed aid stations. The bike course is 3km long and a bit boring. Also, a few times cars swerved into the race lane at high speed which was a bit scary. Having two transitions for gear drop was a bit of a hassle but overall an incredible experience I would highly recommend!
