That's the problem, tho. WTC is buying up the small, independent races and making them branded. Again... ugh....
You don't get much more at at WTC race than at any smaller race- and usually the volunteers and atmosphere is MUCH nicer (and better swag) at the smaller races. But again, I have this thing against WTC- not sure what it is and where it stemmed from. It's kinda like the inner disgust I have for Wal-Mart and other mega-companies I guess. I'm all about supporting the "little guy."
