New Year’s Duathlon & Fundraiser

Supporting St. Johns Shelter Program for Women and Children

St. John’s mission is to support homeless women with children to advance from a point of crisis to a position of self-sufficiency. St. John’s Shelter Program for Women and Children is the ONLY shelter program in Sacramento County focused exclusively on women with children – the most vulnerable of the homeless population. Since 1985, the program has provided a safe and supportive haven to more than 23,000 displaced women and children.

TBF Racing is excited to present the New Year’s Duathlon to help start 2010 as your best Multi-Sport Season ever! This Free event is to thank the athletes, volunteers, sponsors and spectators who attend and support our events. After this fun fast run-bike-run event there will be hot soup and coffee for all athletes along with a ton of Raffle Prizes given away. There will be an opportunity to make a donation in support St. Johns Shelter Program for Women and Children.

Entry Fees The New Year’s Duathlon is FREE. There will be an opportunity to contribute to contribute to the St Johns Shelter for Women and Children at the race.

Bike – The bike course is a one loop 7-mile course on roads within the State Park. The course is winding and twisting turns with some small hills and descents.
