Events:
  • 5K and 10K Time Trials
  • 40K Road Race
  • Criterium
Sport Fee:
  • $8 per person per event
Registration Rules:
  • Pre-registration is strongly encouraged; day-of-event registration is authorized, however, an additional fee of $10 will be assessed.
    Day of race registration starts at 7:00 am.
  • Competition will be in five-year age groups beginning with 50-54.
  • Assigned numbers will be used and positioned on the right side. Rental numbers will be available at the race.
  • All riders must wear an ANSI or SNELL approved helmet.
  • Athletes must ride each race separately (e.g. 5K split while riding in the 10K doesn't count as a 5K result).
  • Riders must stay to the right except when overtaking another rider. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
  • United States Cycling Federation (USCF) rules will apply.
Format/Rules:   5K and 10K Time Trials
  • Individual starts. Race against the clock.
  • Starting times for the time trials will be at equal intervals, usually one minute, but no less than 30 seconds. No allowances will be made for mechanical or other mishaps.
  • Starting order for the time trials is by age category, starting with the youngest to eldest male, followed by females in the same age order.
  • The rider shall be held by an official at the start but shall be neither restrained nor pushed.
  • Aero bars are allowed.
  • Drafting not permitted (taking pace closer than 6 feet behind or 3 feet to the side of another rider).

40K Road Race and Criterium
  • Mass start for each age group; age groups may be combined but will be scored separately.
  • No aero bar allowed.
  • Yellow line rule will be enforced.
Additional Information:
  • The time trials will be run on a very straight and flat course (slightly undulating) with just one turn over a 5K loop.
  • The criterium is flat, with a slight rise at the finish, on a 0.5 mile rectangular circuit on new roads; super flat, fast and smooth.
  • This year we have changed the Road Race from the tight 5 km circuit to a 12 mile loop that includes Marvin Rd, 56th Street, Puget Beach, 73rd, 78th, Johnson Point Road and Hawks Prairie (see directions below). 
  • The road race course is not closed to traffic but will have a rolling enclosure (meaning you get one whole side of the road) with cars at the front and rear of the group.  If dropped from the group, you will need to ride the course like a normal rural road ride and obey all traffic rules.  The course will be well monitored and lightly traveled.
  • Plenty of parking and restroom facilities are available at the check-in site.
  • The Jubilee Lodge at the end of Jubilee Rd NE will act as race headquarters, where we will have bathrooms, food, including simple barbecue for all (including support people). The barbeque will follow the road races and start approximately at 12:30 PM.
  • We will have a podium presentation on the patio of the lodge after the Crit.
Directions:
  • From North or South, take I-5 Exit 111, Marvin Rd.
  • Go North on Marvin Rd.(opposite direction from Mt Rainer) approx. 0.5 miles.
  • Pass through 1 roundabout, enter next roundabout and take first exit onto Willamette Dr. NE.
  • Stay on Willamette for approx. 2 miles.
  • Just past Meriwood Dr. NE turn right onto Jubilee Dr. NE.
  • Take Jubilee straight back 2 blocks to parking at the lodge.
  • Roads are so new only Meriwood shows up on Mapquest.
Course Description:
  • The 5K Time Trial starts on the Corner of Jubilee and Willamette Dr. NE.
    • Starts on Willamette two intersections East of the fire station, goes down Willamette to Edgewater, turns 180 and heads back to finish where it started.
  • This loop will be repeated for the 10K Time Trial
  • The 40K Road Race will go around a 12 mile loop (Marvin - Puget Beach - 78th - Johnson Pt-Hawks Prairie) 2 times and start/finish at the Fire station on Willamette.
  • The Criterium does a counter clockwise loop around Bainbridge Loop NE, just one block in from Willamette on Jubilee.
