The World Triathlon Series started in 2009. World Champions are decided based on points won during the Series rather than for a one off win, as they were prior to 2009.

In 2009 Alistair Brownlee won the Series by winning five out of the five races he contested. He won it again in 2011, as did Helen Jenkins. Jonathan Brownlee won it in 2012 and Non Stanford won in 2013.

Below shows results in each round - for Series winners see Triathlon World Champions at the top of this page.

Triathlon has enjoyed significant growth in Britain since triathlon came to the country in 1983.

In 2016 there were around 150,000 committed active racing triathletes in the UK (Triathlon Industry Association).  Other people do triathlon as a ‘bucket list’ activity.  Sport England believe that about 200,000 people in England did at least one triathlon in the last year.

Membership

There has been a 134% increase in Triathlon England, Triathlon Scotland and Welsh Triathlon members since 2009.  25,200 people purchased a membership in 2016.  Demographics which have shown a particular growth between 2009 and 2016 are young people (300% growth) and women aged 55+ (521% growth).

Race starts

There were approximately 202,000 race starts across Britain in 2016 – so over 550 people doing a triathlon every day on average.  This is 67% more than in 2009.

Permitted events

British Triathlon offer permitting services to events with the objective of ensuring that the events around the country are safe and fair for competitors.  There was an average of 26 permitted events happening each week so plenty of opportunities to get involved!
