Supporting Jamie Whitmore

Jamie Whitmore is no stranger to a tough challenge. You don't become 2007 xterra triathlon USA champion, 2004 xterra triathlon world champion & 2003/04 xterra triathlon European champion without a good fight. On July 14, Jamie underwent surgery to remove a second tumor, discovered several weeks earlier. she had a previous tumor removed on march 28. Jamie's fight to get back continues each hour of each day.

Jamie's no stranger to TBF athletes either. She and her husband Courtney have raced the Chanoko series for years and have provided encouragement and advice for many aspiring athletes. Now, it's your opportunity to show your support for Jamie by making a donation when you sign-up for the New Years Duathlon or any one of the three Chanoko Series races.

You can visit Jamie Whitmore's website for updates.

Course Description and Map

Bike - The bike course is a one loop 12-mile course that has a little bit of everything. The course is mostly single-track trails with some climbing and descending, some sand and rocks, and a water crossing or two.

Chanoko Trail Run
The Chanoko Trail Run starts along the shore of Folsom Lake and after a short section on pavement begins climbing the small hills of the shoreline for an out and back course that veers once to a scenic point along the lake and returns up some short but steep hills, with aid stations spread every 2 miles along the course. There is a climb up Mooney Ridge on the way back to the finish line.

The 5-mile mt bike course is a subset of the adult course, on single track trails with some climbing, but no technical sections nor water crossings.
