With our ambition of helping everyone to discover their next challenge, we`ve picked out just some of the triathlon events in and around London during the summer 2017 that would be the perfect place to race.
Also you can check out Racemappr to find hundreds of different races in 2017 from running trough to obstacle races.

- HILLINGDON TRIATHLON\DUATHLON SERIES 
The Hillingdon Triathlons are most probably the longest running triathlon series in the country. It`s also unique because the run is set as the second discipline, giving organisers more time to spread competitors out. It gives the event a different feel to other triathlons. The races are on 9th of July and 13th of August.

- THORPE PARK SPRINT TRIATHLON
Races at Thorpe Park will be back in 2017! The Park has proved to be a fantastic triathlon venue and already on 4th of June 2017 you can take part in this exciting sprint distance race, and if the Triathlon was not exciting enough for you then why not to spend the rest of the day in the Theme Park with your loyal supporters!

- LONDON TRIATHLON

Attracting over 13,000 participants and 30,000 spectators each year, this iconic event has become a must do event in the sporting calendar. With a variety of distances, routes and wave categories to choose from it doesn`t matter whether you`ve never done a triathlon before or are an Olympic champion - everyone is welcome!
