Based on the Instagram pictures it is Cleveland. Now I know what my goal for the season will be, would love to race nationals in my hometown!

I stand corrected. There are two emerald necklaces.

Could they potentially use Intercity Yacht Club for the swim and the MLK for a multi-loop bike?

This story from last year indicated that the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission had worked on bids for the event - http://www.crainscleveland.com/...t-big-boost-from-rnc
Exciting news for Ohio triathletes. Hope Cleveland can match Milwaukee's recent success as nats host.

I dig it. My wife is from Wooster so it could be an easy family trip.

In Boston, the Emerald Necklace is a park system designed by Fredrick Law Olmsted. Evidently, there is a second (less famous) one in Cleveland.
Edit: It would be cool to have Nationals on Boston's Emerald Neckalce. I can't see swimming in the Charles River or Jamaica Pond, though, let alone the Muddy River :-)

Cleveland for sure. I have it straight from the horse's mouth, the race director. Cleveland starting in 2018 for three years.
"Cleveland rocks," so says Drew Carey.

I knew of Olmsted but nothing about the Emerald Necklace park systems. Thank you.

Probably at least 10 years. Unless you count the un-official national championship - American Zofingen.
Seems to always be in the West.

Oh man! Cleveland would be sooooo nice - underrated town, super easy drive from Lansing.
Fuck the west coast.
It is all about my personal convenience!

Do we know any rumors about 2019 or 2020 Worlds? It would be good to try to wear the Red, White and Blue with you again Mark! US soil is about my only chance.

Underrated town - your kidding - its a sh-t hole, but its driveable, so I might show up if it doesn't conflict with another race.
