"TruStrength puts on an awesome "hometown" event! Initially reluctant to make the trip to Maine, from Vermont, we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. What a well-organized event! The course was perfectly mapped/flagged with no opportunities to get lost (something we encounter frequently in this type of race). While physically demanding for competitive racers who wanted to really push it, the race was still accessible to newcomers to the sport of skimo. Jesse and his associates were extremely friendly and made the warm-up and post-race times a blast, giving away awesome swag. I'm definitely putting any TruStrength events on my calendar for next year! "
