Opportunities for everyone from complete triathlon beginners to experienced age-group competitors will be on offer; spanning GO TRI, relay, sprint and standard distance and allowing members of the public to follow in the footsteps of the elite stars of the sport.
Home to Britain’s Olympic heroes, Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee, Leeds will be brought to life on the weekend of 8-9 June 2019.

Fast forward seven days and the action continues in the Midlands on Saturday 15 June, when Nottingham’s Victoria Embankment will welcome the world’s top triathlon nations for a mixed relay showdown. The sport’s newest Olympic discipline has earnt its respect from both competitors and fans for its thrilling, fast-paced format; most recently attracting a 2.7 million BBC audience to the Glasgow 2018 European Championships.
Both events in Leeds and Nottingham take place within the Olympic selection window, offering nations the opportunity to pick up valuable points in the elite races to qualify both individual and team slots for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
