TBF Racing will offer the 5th edition of our Half-Ironman Distance event called the TBF HIT. The location again will be Rancho Seco Park with a beautiful lake swim, a one-loop bike course, and a two-loop trail run. Each competitor entered in the TBF HIT V will receive a custom TBF HIT race tech t-shirt, TBF HIT Finisher Medal, TBF HIT race cap, water bottle, along with the TBF HIT Goody Bag, post race hot meal, and massage. Free parking is available for all athletes, plus RV sites and camping with showers. Finishers of the TBF HIT V will receive a custom TBF HIT V Finisher Medal, and a TBF HIT V Finisher T-shirt. Awards will be given five-deep in each five-year age group. The TBF HIT V will be USAT Sanctioned, requiring the purchase of a $10 one-day license with USAT, or the holding of an annual membership card with USAT.
Swim - The TBF HIT V swim course will be 1.2 miles with brightly colored swim buoys placed on the course. The TBF Water Safety team will be patrolling the swim course with kayaks and can offer assistance to any swimmer needing to pause or rest during the swim leg.
The TBF HIT V will have four waves. Each wave will start five minutes apart.
7:30 am Wave one: Men 34 and under
7:35 am Wave two: Men 35 - 44
7:40 am Wave three: Men 45+ , Clydesdale Athletes and Relay Teams
7:45 am Wave four: All Women
Each swimmer will receive a brightly colored swim cap matching their wave start. Please wear the colored swim cap you are given. After completing the swim head up the beach and grass into the transition area. If you need to change, please use the restroom located between the swim exit and the transition area.
Bike - The TBF HIT V bike course is a one-loop course leaving Rancho Seco Park and turning left on Twin Cities Road. Riders will then make right hand turns on Clay Station Road, Tavernor Road, Dillard Road, Jackson Road, Highway 124, and Twin Cities Road before making a left hand turn back into the park at Rancho Seco. There will be CHP Officers controlling traffic at each intersection. The roads will not be closed to traffic.
Riders must not draft other riders: You must maintain at least THREE bike lengths at all times behind the rider in front of you, and you MUST ride single file while on the Highway. Failure to do so will result in a drafting penalty or disqualification. Crossing the centerline at ANY time will also result in disqualification. Proceed to the turn around on Hwy 104 and return to the park. Traffic has the right-of-way on the road so ride CAREFULLY.
TBF Racing has a No Refund policy on all of our events. A Refund requested prior to race week will be given a TBF Race credit for the amount of the entry fee minus $25 processing fee. Credits are not given during race week.
