2 WELCOME WELCOME FROM ITU WORLD TRIATHLON LEEDS 2018 The organising team would like to extend a warm welcome and big thank you to all those taking part in this year s edition of the ITU World Triathlon Leeds. Over the weekend of 9 and 10 June 2018, we will see more than 4,000 triathletes taking on the triathlon challenge as well as the world s best racing through the streets of Leeds on Sunday. Once again we aim to deliver an event to be proud of with a world-class course, fantastic volunteers on hand to help you every step of the way and an event village that is the beating heart of the ITU World Triathlon Leeds. I would like to extend a huge thank you to all the volunteers and officials for their support and commitment in ensuring 2018 delivers a great athlete experience. And of course, thank you to all our suppliers, sponsors and partners whom alongside Leeds City Council, UK Sport and the ITU who have supported event organisers British Triathlon and enabled this year s event to be one of the highlights on the triathlon calendar. WELCOME FROM UK SPORT It is fantastic to be able to welcome you to the ITU World Triathlon Series in Leeds for the third time since the event moved to this great sporting city. UK Sport is proud to use National Lottery funding to help bring the biggest and best sporting events to the UK, they play an important role in boosting the local economy, supporting homegrown talent and giving fans the chance to see the best in the world compete.

On behalf of UK Sport, I congratulate British Triathlon, Leeds City Council and the ITU on delivering an excellent event.

Wayne Coyle, Event Director ITU World Triathlon Leeds 2018

3 WELCOME WELCOME FROM BRITISH TRIATHLON Welcome to the third ITU World Triathlon Series event to take place in the city of Leeds. This event represents the pinnacle of triathlon competition in the UK and provides elite triathletes with the opportunity to compete on a city-centre course in front of thousands of spectators. In the elite event last year we saw the Brownlee Brothers score a magnificent 1:2 in the men s race and Flora Duffy was imperious in the ladies. The Brownlees and Flora will all return this year. But what also makes this event special is the participation of thousands of local athletes in a variety of races, some of whom will be doing their first ever triathlon. Others will have travelled further to take part in the British Championships over the standard distance. If you are watching do give them your vocal support!. And if you are competing, please accept my best wishes I hope you achieve your personal target, whatever that may be. Ian Howard TD President, British Triathlon WELCOME FROM LEEDS CITY COUNCIL We are very proud to welcome the World Triathlon to Leeds for a third year after two truly amazing events in the city. The atmosphere and buzz created by spectators has been simply unbelievable and athletes can be guaranteed of another unforgettable reception as we showcase to the world why Leeds is a true city of sport. As always there will be plenty of fun for the whole family to enjoy over the weekend, whether that is through the various events taking place at Roundhay Park or in the city centre for the spectacular finale on the Sunday, as the sport s greatest athletes do battle. The amount of hard work which goes into hosting an event the scale of World Triathlon Leeds is substantial, and could not take place without the hard work of so many volunteers. I would personally like to offer a big thank you to every volunteer for all their support and efforts. We cannot wait for the festivities to begin on 9 June and we hope that everyone has a fantastic time in Leeds over the weekend. Councillor Judith Blake, Leader of Leeds City Council

4 WELCOME WELCOME TO ITU WORLD TRIATHLON LEEDS It is my great pleasure to welcome you back to Leeds for the fifth race of the 2018 WTS season. The city has a strong history in triathlon and is the home town of two ITU favourites, the Brownlee brothers Alistair and Jonny, as well as the training ground of fellow British greats Vicky Holland and Non Stanford. As such, the people here have always embraced our events, bringing some unique Yorkshire atmosphere to the occasion that I know our athletes thrive upon. This year s course is once again as interesting as it is challenging. Two laps of Waterloo Lake are to be followed by a 40km bike course that winds through the Yorkshire countryside before entering the heart of the city, where a four-lap run will come to an exciting finale in Millennium Square. Last year saw an exciting one-two for the Brownlees, with Alistair winning here for the second time in a row, after Flora Duffy had dominated the women s race in style. Once again, the triathlon action won t be confined to the elites, however. The weekend includes something for enthusiasts of all ages and abilities, with the city committed to growing our great sport amongst its youth by organising youth and junior triathlons, team challenges and relays. This historic city will provide the perfect backdrop for all these events over what is set to be another excellent few days of family-friendly sports action. After all, triathlon is a sport anyone can do regardless of age or gender. I would like to thank British Triathlon, the Local Organising Committee and the city of Leeds for helping to put this occasion together. I hope that you will enjoy both the beautiful city and the spectacle of ITU triathlon. Marisol Casado, President, International Triathlon Union, IOC Member
