Land Park Criterium Race Details

Tripp Goldsberry, president of the Sacramento Golden Wheelmen, needs the names of the volunteers 2 weeks prior to the event so please RSVP before the deadline. I will be submitting the names to Tripp.

RSVP is a social commitment. This is a serious race event so please be sure that you can commit prior to signing up.

I have uploaded the criterium map in our files section. You can also click on the link below.

When you get to the course, you need to go directly to your station and report to the SGW member who is going to be there who will brief you with your duties as a marshall.
As marshall, you need to ensure course safety by keeping pedestrians, joggers, golfers from walking into the road before the pack is about to ride by.

The location is in the middle of land park, in the "oval" around part of the golf course. Look at this google pedometer route to see the area where the start/finish is set up. Registration and pretty much everyone else are in this general area:
