The Race Is On!
You missed the first Eppie’s Great Race®, don’t miss the first Great American Triathlon®.
The World’s Oldest Triathlon® may have ended with the 45th running of the Eppie’s Great Race®, but the tradition of a summertime triathlon on the American River Parkway will continue this July 20th with the inaugural Great American Triathlon®. Sponsored by Innovations Health Systems, a Roseville-based healthcare holding company, and managed by Capital Road Race Management, this year’s paddle triathlon will raise funds to support the American River Parkway Foundation and local children’s charities.
Set along the same course and comprised of the same 5.82-mile run, 12.5-mile bike ride, and 6.10-mile paddle events as Eppie’s Great Race®, the Great American Triathlon® is a challenging athletic competition that is as unique as it is fun.
Space is limited, so sign up today to ensure your spot in the inaugural running of this one-of-a-kind athletic event that has come to define summers in Sacramento.

Volunteers are needed to assist in setting up the course, assisting in race transitions, guiding spectators, and helping to ensure the parkway following the race is just as beautiful and serene as it was when the day began.
