USA Triathlon’s Duathlon National Championships are once again taking place in Bend, OR! Sprint and Standard races will be hosted on June 17, while the Draft-Legal Sprint race will take place on June 18, 2017, with Summit High School serving as the hub for all race-day activity. 2016 included the highest participation in the past 4 years, with the race pulling athletes from 45 states! In 2017, we expect all 50 states to be represented by the best run-bike-run athletes in the nation. USA Triathlon will offer three distances for the event — a standard distance 10k run, 40k bike and 5k run, a 5k run, 20k bike, 2.5k run for the non-draft sprint distance, and a 5k run, 20k bike, 2.5k run for the draft-legal sprint distance. Racing is scheduled to begin at 7:30am on Saturday, June 17 and continue until 4:30pm. On Sunday, June 18, racing will begin at 7:30am and continue until 12:00pm.

Due to this exciting event, there will be road closures and detours. There will be signage notifying the detour routes and closures. They are also listed on the next page.

Saturday, June 17 & Sunday, June 18 – Note that the road closures below will apply to both days, with the length (time) of closures varying by day.

For residents on the western side of the bike course on Skyliners Road, a one lane queue system will be operated by Certified Flaggers and Bend PD motorcycles in order to get residents in and out of their homes. While utilizing this queue system, there will only be one lane of vehicular traffic at any given time. Please be patient as delays will be present. The same queue system will be utilized when residents wish to return to their homes – this will begin at the intersection of Skyliners Road and Skyline Ranch Road.

For residents that have homes on the course on Skyliners Road, there will be either a Certified Flagger or volunteer to assist you in entering and exiting your home. It is vital that said residents heed the direction of the Certified Flagger/volunteer to know when it is safe to exit and enter their home as they will be crossing two lanes of bike traffic. Overall coordination will be managed by Certified Flaggers and Bend PD motorcycle officers.

All residents are encouraged to enter/exit between the hours of 12:00pm-1:00pm since the bike course will be closed to allow for changeover from race to race.
