Road closures planned for USA Triathlon National Championships

If you have plans that involve Eppley Airfield the weekend of August 13 and 14, they might be a little hampered.

Several morning and early afternoon road closures around Eppley Airfield are planned for Saturday, August 13 and Sunday, August 14 to accommodate the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships, which are being hosted in Omaha for the first time. If you’re driving anywhere in the vicinity of the races, drive slowly, drive cautiously and be aware of the athletes.

The triathlon starts at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Events include the Olympic Distance National Championship on Saturday and the Sprint National Championship on Sunday. Roads will be closed starting at 5:00 a.m.

The Eppley Airfield Police Department put together a map of the road closures and alternative routes. Please follow the direction of police officers, traffic control and parking attendants, and USA Triathlon staff and officials.
