Additional Information
Thanks to the generous sponsorship of US Bank, The Great Race® (an Eppie's Great Race Foundation event) presents The Sixth Annual US Bank KIDS' DUATHLON. This event’s primary goal is to show our youngsters that healthy outdoor activities are fun, exciting, and rewarding, in turn helping them to improve their fitness. Since The Great Race® is a popular with families, the US Bank KIDS' DUATHLON will provide children with their own event — they can compete in it while other family members are tackling The Great Race®. Also, this duathlon introduction will encourage the entrants to continue these activities and to someday compete as triathletes in The Great Race®.
The event starts near the Guy West Bridge. The run is an out-and-back on the American River Parkway Trail. The bike goes east on the Parkway trail 5.75 miles to the finish at William Pond Park near the start of The Great Race®.
