The 2017 USA Triathlon Duathlon National Championships will be held in Bend, Oregon, June 17-18. Three run-bike-run races will take place over two days in the “Outdoor Playground of the West,” with national titles and qualification for the 2018 ITU Multisport World Championships Festival on the line.
On Saturday, athletes will compete for national championship titles in non-drafting standard and sprint-distance formats. On Sunday, competitors will race in a sprint-distance draft-legal format (Sunday’s event is a world championship qualifier only, not a national championship race).
In all three races, top finishers will qualify to represent Team USA at the 2018 ITU Multisport World Championships Festival in Odense, Denmark. These are more than 500 of the fastest duathletes from across the United States
