The London Aquatics Centre has again been confirmed as the venue for the 2025 supertri E World Triathlon Championship which this year will take place on Saturday 5 April.

Last year Beth Potter, who would go on to win two Olympic medals for Team GB in Paris, won the women’s event while the USA’s Chase McQueen took the men’s title.

The full line up will be revealed in the coming weeks, with World Championship titles on the line in what is a unique triathlon experience.

Virtual reality

In what will be its sixth year, supertri E continues to redefine the boundaries, fusing the worlds of real life and virtual racing. Powered by MyWhoosh for the first time, the event showcases cutting-edge technology and fierce competition.

Organisers hope the format will inspire the next generation of triathlon fans and in support of that mission, under 14s can attend for free (when accompanied by a paying adult) this year.

And in another first, the 2025 event will mirror the unique and high-pressure supertri format of three continuous rounds of swim, bike and run, putting even more pressure on athletes with any minor mistake magnified and punished.

‘Future of triathlon’

The schedule will see morning heats to determine the finalists, with athletes competing across two continuous stages of swim, bike and run.

And then the top 10 men and top 10 women from the heats will race through three continuous stages of swim, bike and run in the evening.

Michael D’hulst, supertri CEO and Co-Founder, said: “The change to the race format will make it even more compelling for viewers and seamless across the supertri family of events, which perfectly showcases the drama and unpredictability of triathlon where the athletes must bring their absolute best from start to finish.

“We are also excited to continue to drive the future of triathlon by ensuring a whole new generation of children can watch the sport for free. I can’t wait to see them and the world’s best athletes rise to the occasion under the lights of the London Aquatics Centre.”

And Antonio Arimany, World Triathlon President, added: “This event continues to set new standards for how we present triathlon to a global audience, and I am thrilled to see the world’s best athletes compete for a world title on this incredible stage in London.”

Both reigning Olympic champions, Alex Yee and Cassandre Beaugrand, have starred in the event before but for Yee his early-season focus this time around is a very different one, even though it is also in his home town.

He’s currently training for his first London Marathon as he makes a temporary return to running, with his target a sub 2:10 time.
