LOCAL IMPACT

 

Dear Mission Viejo residents, we are thrilled to bring this National Championship Event to your beautiful City.  The event takes place on Saturday April 13th and Sunday April 14th.  We have three different races over the course of those two days.  Lake Mission Viejo will be our “host” location featuring start, transition and finish.  Over the course of the two days there will be temporary road closures for the race which will impact traffic.  Detours are in place for each leg of the race that will impact traffic and are included below.

​

We have included our race timeline as well to give you a sense of the events flow.  We welcome you to come join us and cheer on the excitement as Collegiate Athletes from over 100 Universities compete for National Titles in the sport of Triathlon.
