IsaRats president Kim Alcorn said the event ran really smoothly from an organiser point of view and from a competitor's point of view.
"We were very lucky with the weather and the amount of people we had on hand to set up and pack up," Alcorn said.
"As a competitor it was great to see the crowd encourage the athletes along the course."
Alcorn said the next event on their race calendar is the second Race to the Creek.
The event will be held on Sunday March 10.
The series features three races aimed at building up competitors to peak at the Dirt n Dust Festival.
"The Race to the Creek events help triathletes with an overall measure of their improvement leading into Dirt N Dust at Julia Creek," she said.
