AJ Bell | World ITU Triathlon | Leeds - 5/6th June 2021
Previously held in Serpentine Lake, Hyde Park, London up to 2015
The ITU World Triathlon returns to Leeds for the fifth year 9/10th June 2021, after COVID19 in 2020 caused the event to be cancelled.
Leeds prides itself on being ‘the triathlon city’ and is home to Olympic Gold and Silver medallists, Alistair and Jonny Brownlee. The AJ Bell ITU World Triathlon Leeds provides amateur competitors with the unique opportunity to warm up the course for the elite and finish on the blue carpet whilst experiencing the fantastic atmosphere that the people of Leeds and further afield bring to the event – making it an experience like no other.
The swim element of the race will take place in the picturesque Roundhay Park, which was described by last year’s competitors as ‘flat and still’. As is custom with ITU events, wetsuits are mandatory for the swim element of the race for safety purposes and are available to hire now.
