Some athletes told News 8 they loved how the women’s only race was designed to support one another.

Race director Don Carr said the great thing about Go Girl is that it’s a race meant for everyone.

He says the race welcomes first-time triathletes as well as the elites.

Saturday’s finishers received a Go Girl finisher’s medal and t-shirt.
