Interview with Shannon Kurek on Triathlon Bizcast

“I'd like to say that it was a wonderful event!! I participated in the Linwood event many times, but this was my first time at the Sherod Park location. It was also the first HFP race that I made it over to the pre-race prayer and I absolutely loved that aspect. It was a great and calming moment before the race.
The photographer captured an amazing moment I had with my son at the finish line. I would love to give the photographer credit on social media if he has his own business. So if you have his contact, I can give him a shoutout.”

M. Holtwick 2017 Sherod Park finisher

“Thank you for a great summer. After shoulder surgery 2 years ago I wasn't sure if I would ever be able to participate again. Your Fit Family mini series was just what I needed to get back into the sport. After a recent training accident on my bike (broken clavicle that took a plate and 7 screws to repair), my season had ended premature. I'm already looking forward to next season. Thanks Again,”

Greg Cook

“I wanted to send a thank you from me and my family for holding the race this past weekend. Please pass this along to the race director from the City of Worthington. I work on the recreation commission and my husband with council for our city, and I know it's not always easy to get everyone's support for an event like this. No matter how much information you put out there about road closures and traffic restrictions, there are people who miss it and complain. Since sometimes the only feedback you get is the negative feedback, we want to make sure you and the city received positive feedback too! The volunteers were great and the course perfect. The pool swim allowed my daughter to do her first triathlon! We also spent the weekend there, staying a night at the Holiday Inn in Worthington and shopping and eating in town as well. Thanks again for putting on this race and we hope to see you there next year, where my son hopes to do his first triathlon!”

Lynn Streetz Hallum, Chris, Roy, and Stacy Hallum Independence Day Triathlon finisher

“Thank you all so much for running the Independence Day Triathlon in Worthington. It was my first experience and you made it all very comfortable. I felt very safe on the bike ride even though it was on busy streets. The swim was very easy in that pool (beats the heck out of a lake swim for me). And of course the Olentangy Trail is a great place for the run. I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your work and will definitely tell my friends about your event.
Thanks again,”

Pamela Merz, your most senior citizen and last place finisher (although I DID win my age group) Independence Day Triathlon finisher

“The race at Deer Creek today was outstanding. It was very well organized and managed. I loved the awards and the t-shirt. The shirt had a fresh, original design with no ads on the back! I have been racing for 55 years, and this was one of the best events I have seen.”

Rich Wallace FIT Family Deer Creek State Park finisher

“This is the first time I have done this race & must say it was an awesome experience! The atmosphere was like no other, supportive volunteers & run very smoothly down to the impromptu national anthem....will be back! Top notch!”

Beth Gabhart

“Hello, I just wanted to send a message and let you know how much I enjoyed the race. I did this same race 4 years ago and it did not compare to the quality of race that you offered this year. Kudos to HFP for putting on a really enjoyable event! Thanks so much.”

Karmi James 2016 Portage Lakes finisher

“My son, Brock, participated in all but Alum and Portage Lakes for the Fit Family series this season. He also ran the Mini at the Deer Creek Fall Challenge this past weekend. Brock is visually and hearing impaired and finding safe (and well ran) events is extremely difficult living in Pittsburgh. This is his 4th season of racing and Deer Creek was his 26th race since he began at age 7. We also run the Rev3/Challenge series through out the year, but none come close to the consistent excellence and level of safety we have found at the HFP events. The staff at each event is always very nice and professional. Thank you all so much for making this season Brock's best yet & we all look very forward to continuing to participate at your events in the 2016 season. Great Job!!”

Grant Kitterman Parent of 2015 FIT Family Series Athlete

“Just wanted to drop you guys a line and tell you how much I enjoyed the Alum Creek Tri. Loved the course. Flat, smooth and simple rectangular bike course was the highlight for me. Hands down, the smoothest roads I have ever ridden.
The new timing service is the best and gives everyone all the info that they want at their fingertips within an hour or so of the completion of the race.
Keep up the great work. All us triathletes really appreciate it!”

David Katz FIT Family Series Athlete

“This past Saturday I did my first triathlon ever, and lucky enough it was with HFP! WOW! What a great first experience; from all the wonderful volunteers to the smoothness of the event and how well it flowed. 10/10 experience and I am officially addicted 🙂 Thank you again for such a wonderful race day experience!!!!”
