The event prides itself on offering race distances and wave types to suit all levels of triathlete. First timers have the opportunity to dip their toes into the world of multi-sport by taking on a Super-Sprint distance or by taking part in a team relay, where groups of three can opt to tackle one discipline each.
The next step up is a distance popular with both first-timers and seasoned triathletes - the Sprint provides a challenging yet achievable triathlon target, featuring a 750m swim, 20km bike and 5km run.

For those taking on the challenge of the longer distance races of Olympic and Olympic Plus (a race type unique to London Triathlon) on Sunday, triathletes will now be given the choice of taking the iconic Westminster bike route or one closer to the Docklands.
