The favorite Northern California summer triathlon tradition of running, cycling, and paddling on the American River Parkway continues in-person at the Great American Triathlon (GAT). Known previously as "Eppie’s Great Race", and with a challenging course set along one of the most beautiful urban landscapes in America, this no-swim triathlon is a 24.42-mile run, ride, and paddle event unlike any other.

GAT allows relay teams or individuals to compete in divisions from "Junior" to "Iron Person," 14-70 years and older. Those wishing to compete in a single leg may be matched with other competitors to form relay teams through the GAT social media.
