Entry details for the Youth and Junior races will be released in the New Year.

Wayne Coyle, Event Director for the ITU World Triathlon Leeds 2018 commented: “We’re delighted to launch entries for this year’s TriStar events; these youngsters are the future of our sport and have an unprecedented opportunity to race as part of the same event as their heroes.

“It’s another reason this weekend is so special offering events for every type of triathlon participant and I can’t wait to see it all come to life in June.”

The country’s most prestigious triathlon will take place for the third successive year in Leeds on 9 and 10 June 2018 and over the weekend will aim to welcome 5,000 amateur participants to the city that has triathlon at its heart. Entries remain open for all races at https://leeds.triathlon.org

Once the amateur triathletes have finished their racing, it will be the turn of the world’s best as they compete in the fourth stop of the ITU World Triathlon Series in front of over 70,000 fans in the heart of Leeds City-Centre.

The ITU World Triathlon Leeds 2018 is supported by National Lottery funding and is organised by British Triathlon, in partnership with Leeds City Council, UK Sport and the ITU.
