USA Triathlon Brings 1,300 Athletes to Omaha for Five-Day National Championships Festival

June 2, 2025

For the second year in a row, Omaha will host the USA Triathlon Multisport National Championships Festival at Lake Cunningham, bringing 1,300 athletes – 97 percent from outside the metro – to compete in 12 events across multiple race formats along with nine National Championship races. Presented by Mutual of Omaha, the festival runs June 4 to 8.

A partnership among USA Triathlon, the Omaha Sports Commission, the City of Omaha and Visit Omaha, the event offers a major boost to Omaha’s visitor economy. Athletes and spectators will be filling hotel rooms, dining at local restaurants and exploring the city in between events.

Races include open water swims, sprint triathlons, youth events and the draft-legal formats used in Olympic-level competitions. All races take place at Lake Cunningham. Qualifying athletes will earn a spot on Team USA for the 2026 World Triathlon Championships. 

Show your Omaha pride by attending an event, volunteering or sharing your favorite local spots with visiting athletes.
