The annual Kona Slowtwitch gathering at the Cytomax / Muscle Miilk house powered by blueseventy was a huge success and over 330 people showed up and had a good time. Many new friendships were made and old ones were rekindled.

Cytomax / Muscle Milk, blueseventy, Kona Brewing and Specialized were our main partners and supporters in Kona and we greatly appreciate it. So please think about these brands when you are making purchasing decisions.

SRM, blueseventy and Quintana Roo offered the biggest raffle prizes, but Specialized, Monster Cable, Rotor, Mat Steinmetz, Zoot, ISM, TRX, Hoka One One, Cobb Cycling, Torhans, Velopress, XLab, Luna sandals and Patron were also amazing suppliers to the raffle.
