ALSO FEATURING A CHILDRENS DUATHLON:
EPPIE'S GREAT RACE® presents the Sixth Annual U.S. 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 EPPIE'S GREAT RACE® is popular with families, the U.S. Bank KIDS DUATHLON will provide children with their own event - they can compete in it while other family members are tackling EPPIE'S GREAT RACE®.
Also, this duathlon introduction will encourage the entrants to continue these activities and to someday compete as triathletes in EPPIE'S GREAT RACE®.
