British Triathlon Grand Prix


2008 sees the launch of an exciting new British Triathlon series; the British Triathlon Grand Prix, combining for the first time ever the most prestigious and elite triathlon events in the country. This new six race series has been created by the British Triathlon Federation in partnership with IMG and Human Race, and taken up for broadcast by Channel 4 Television.

The newly-created British Triathlon Grand Prix brings together British Triathlon's excellent Corus Elite Series, the Mazda London Triathlon – the largest triathlon event in the world, the Mazda Blenheim Triathlon, and the seven time British Triathlon event of the year, the Nokia Windsor Triathlon.

Produced by Cirencester-based production company Dreamteam Television, highlights from each of the six races will be broadcast on Channel 4 as a six-part series, equivalent to four hours of coverage, which will be played throughout the summer on both Channel 4 and Channel 4 + 1. The series will also be available on the Channel’s catch-up service 4 On Demand (4OD).  This takes the exciting sport of triathlon the homes of millions of people.

With a significant combined prize purse across the six events, the races will attract the best of British talent as well as interest from as far afield as the USA, Australia and South Africa; providing exceptional opportunities for those British triathletes looking for success at the Olympic Games later this summer.
