ONLINE REGISTRATION CLOSES ON Thursday, May 27, 2010 AT 10:00pm!!! (no "day of" registration for the race)

TDF offers racing for everyone! If this is your first time participating in a USA Cycling sanctioned competitive event let us fill you in on how things work. If you are an adult over the age of 18 and you have never raced competitively or have never held a USA Cycling annual license then you will need to register as a Mens Category 5 (Citizen) rider or a Womens Category 4 (Citizen) rider. This is the starting point for all racers as they attempt to climb their way up the categorical rankings to the Pro Category 1 level. To give you an idea of what this means…picture yourself new to this sport as a Category 4 or 5 (Citizen) cyclist. Now picture Lance Armstrong as a Pro cyclist. It takes quite a bit of effort to achieve that level of success but hopefully this helps clear up any confusion. Riders can be bumped up to the next level based on the number of races participated in and the number of races won or finished with a high standing.

ALL riders are REQUIRED to fill out an Event Release Form

The Race Entry Fees listed do not include One-Day License Fees.

A one day license costs $10 and can be purchased on sat morning   6-7;30 a.m.  at the registration table.

ALTER YOUR TDF RACE PROFILE:

 1. Go to truesport.com  2. log in 3. click on "update profile."

 

Kids Fun Race distance: 1/2 mile approx.
The FREE Kids Race does NOT require the  purchase a One-Day License. However, a parent/guardian  will need to fill out a   event release form   for their children.
