Women's Triathlon Festival

One of my favorite races is coming this Saturday and Sunday at Rancho Seco Recreational Area. TBF Racing puts on this event every year. Saturday's races are women only.  It's a great way to get started in the exciting, super fun swim-bike-run sport called a Triathlon. For those who prefer not to swim, TBF also has an option to run-bike-run in an event they call a Duathlon. All explained on tbfracing.com.

Saturday's fun starts with the Supersprint at 7:30. Plan an hour to drive there and an hour to get set up and body marked (everyone will have their race number and age marked on their arms and legs with a Sharpie) . The longer race starts at 8:30 but I suggest arriving by 7:00 before the Supersprint starts. Directions on the website and below.

Sunday's event is another Super Sprint but for everyone.

Each athlete registered for the Women’s Triathlon Festival will receive a $42 value Skirt Sports Race Belt Skirt but sizes are not guaranteed. PLan to get to the  Packet Pick Up  at Fleet Feet Sports in Sacramento on Friday September 7th from 2 to 7 pm where special refreshments will be provided by Skirt Sports and Fleet Feet Sports. Packets may also be picked up race morning from 6 am to 8:30 am at the race site. 

From Sunrise Blvd and Highway 50, head south towards Jackson Highway on Sunrise Blvd.  Turn left on Jackson Highway and proceed ~4.5 miles to Dillard Road.  Turn right on Dillard Road.  Turn left on Clay Station Road.  Turn left on Highway 104.  Turn right into Rancho Seco Park. 

DO look through the TBF site. There's a lot of information there.
