Celebrating Southern California's Rich Olympic History
The Toyota Legacy Triathlon will enable USA Triathlon to contribute to Southern California’s Olympic lore and rich triathlon history by giving back to the local multisport community. USA Triathlon is the first National Governing Body to bring a new annual event to the Los Angeles footprint as part of the lead-up to 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our mission is to start building our legacy before, rather than after, the Games — starting at the grassroots level, and over time becoming a prestigious international event featuring elite and age-group athletes, as well as paratriathletes, from around the world.
To give back to the local multisport community and fulfill its mission of opening pathways to triathlon for all, the USA Triathlon Foundation has committed a total of $100,000 in funding — $10,000 per year through 2028 — to support local community initiatives in conjunction with the Legacy Triathlon.
The Toyota USA Paratriathlon National Championships returns to Long Beach in 2022
USA Triathlon is excited to once again host the Toyota USA Paratriathlon National Championships as part of the Legacy Triathlon in 2022. Paratriathlon Nationals will occur on Sunday, July 17. The nation's top paratriathletes will qualify through regional paratriathlon championships.
