Some roads around the National Mall will be closed Sunday to make way for the athletes and spectators of the Dextro Energy Triathlon.
District officials also warn that parking will be limited in some areas for the races that kick off at 6 a.m. today.
A handful of the closures were slated to begin as early as 8 p.m. Friday and run until 3 a.m. Monday, but many will be concentrated on today until 2 p.m.
Metro is planning to run the rail system on its usual schedule with a 7 a.m. opening on the day of the race, said spokesman Steven Taubenkibel, although riders may run into some delays on the Orange, Blue and Yellow lines because of scheduled track work. Some downtown Metrobus routes will be detoured, he said, because of the road closures.
