Distances ranging from Super Sprint (400m swim, 10k bike, 2.5k run) to Olympic Plus (1,500 swim, 80k bike, 10k run) and the option to enter the Team Relay and either swim, bike or run to victory, provide opportunities for individuals of all fitness abilities.
Last year saw over 13,000 age-group athletes sign-up for the challenge alongside famous personalities who also caught the tri bug such as Sir Richard Branson, David Hasselhoff and Alexandra Burke.
They joined London 2012 Olympic triathletes Lucy Hall, Stuart Hayes and past Olympian Leon Taylor at the Docklands waterside. Previous years have seen Jenson Button, Vernon Kay and Mel C participate in the swim, bike and run event.
