I can honestly say that I did not know this series existed.  It was a very cool experience to see all the different things that this race could represent for so many different people.  It really honored all kinds of different aspects of women.  It was really cool to see that the organizers celebrated every last finisher (even spreading the finishing tape for the actual last finisher).

I also learned that the Iron Girl logo is named Grace and stands for the grace that woman demonstrate when they compete in this type of event.  Really neat day.
