Published:

Grandstand tickets for the Columbia Threadneedle World Triathlon Leeds, taking place on Sunday 12 June, have officially sold out for the second time after an additional 400 tickets were released for general sale last Wednesday.

Due to overwhelming demand, organisers for the Columbia Threadneedle World Triathlon Leeds released a further 400 Grandstand tickets for the event taking place on Sunday 12th June, after the original ticket allocation of over 1,330 sold-out in just one week.

The Grandstand tickets were quickly snapped up by spectators hungry for unsurpassed views of the thrilling racing action, with seats overlooking the second transition and finish line in the heart of Millennium Square.

Triathlon fans, residents, and visitors to the city will still be able to watch GB’s finest triathletes go head-to-head against the rest of the world in their last race on home soil ahead of Rio, at various locations around the city free of charge.

The unique point-to-point route has been designed to provide the best spectator experience possible, especially in the city centre, where crowds watching the bike and run elements will see the field pass them multiple times.

The route starts with a 1500-metre swim in Roundhay Park’s Waterloo Lake, followed by a 41.5km ride passing through Roundhay, Moortown, Meanwood, Weetwood, Headingley and Woodhouse, completed with seven circuits of a city centre loop, and will finish with a four lap 10km run of the city centre loop, culminating in the thrilling finale to be played out on Millennium Square.

Crowds are encouraged to show their support across these locations, showcasing the city and its residents, to a global live television audience.

Locations of the official Columbia Threadneedle World Triathlon Leeds spectator zones, which will provide a brilliant race experience for everyone, will also be announced shortly.

In addition to offering the opportunity to watch the elite races, the Columbia Threadneedle World Triathlon Leeds, which is part of UK Sport’s National Lottery-funded #EveryRoadtoRio event series and is organised by British Triathlon in partnership with Leeds City Council, also provides recreational triathletes with the unique opportunity to compete on the same course as elite athletes across a range of different distances.
