Racing is Back!
What a great weekend of racing we had in Tuscaloosa on May 22-23. Over 600 athletes finished one or more of the three races over the exciting and beautiful two days of racing. Full results can be found here. We look forward to seeing you at the next Duathlon Nationals, location and date to be announced later this summer.
Non-draft Standard and Sprint Recap
Back To Tuscaloosa!
USA Triathlon is heading to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, as the host city for the 2021 USA Triathlon Duathlon National Championships. The city, a longtime host of USA Triathlon National Championship events and other premier triathlon competitions, will welcome the nation’s best run-bike-run athletes as they compete for national titles in three events. Tuscaloosa served as the host of the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials for triathlon, the 2009-10 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships and the 2007-08, 2011-12 and 2017-18 USA Triathlon Collegiate Club National Championships.
The bike and run courses will take athletes on the Tuscaloosa River Walk along the Black Warrior River, before traversing Jack Warner Parkway and returning to the amphitheater for the finish. Specific race distances and course information will be shared when available.
Race weekend will feature national championships in the non-drafting standard distance, non-drafting sprint, and draft-legal sprint. Top age-group finishers in each race will earn the opportunity to represent USA Triathlon’s amateur Team USA at the 2021 World Triathlon Multisport Championships in Almere, Netherlands AND the 2022 Championships in Townsville, Australia.
