  Clint Claassen

  Executive Director & Co-Founder

  What began as a competitive outlet after ending his college football campaign has transformed into a lifestyle. Clint started racing in 2005 and quickly worked his way through the ranks, winning a Cat 1 XC National Championship in 2009 and turning pro in 2010 with numerous top national finishes and regional wins in all disciplines. Clint is known and respected as a contender in any race he enters; however, his image has risen above results alone. His work in the community developing other riders and organizing events shows he is committed to cycling and growing the sport he loves.

  Clint and his wife Jennifer began organizing races in 2014 under the TimeYourRace brand, before forming Clipped In Races in 2017. Clipped In Races produces community events year round, including the Sacramento Cyclocross Series, Prairie City Race Series, Folsom Grom Series, Mother Lode Epic, and more.

  Jennifer Claassen

  Director of Operations & Co-Founder

  Every organization needs a passionate person working behind the scenes, and this is Jennifer. When her husband, Clint, started racing mountain bikes she saw a need for help managing registration, scoring and results at local races. She volunteered for many years with other companies before becoming part owner in the chip timing company TimeYourRace in 2013. This allowed her to help other organizations become more efficient and produce better events that bring community together.

  Jennifer is the consummate social planner and her spirit thrives when gathering with others. She says there’s only room for one Pro athlete in the family, but she enjoys riding the tandem bike with Clint and following behind their son Logan (10) on the mountain bike as they explore trails as a family.

  Jenn Fuss

  Community Relations & Outreach Director

  Jenn is a Sacramento native and proud Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo alumni. Her passion for endurance events was sparked by an addiction to running half marathons (and a couple marathons) and the feeling that you’re a part of something bigger than yourself. Jenn’s favorite part about working races is connecting with the community – both online and at events. And also petting all the dogs (see the Clipped In Races Pup Roundup).

  Outside of the office, Jenn is an avid craft beer drinker, country music fan, long distance runner, and loves spending time with friends and family.
