Places are still available for those wanting to enter.
There's just 50 days left until the AJ Bell 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series- and it's taking place in the heart of Leeds.
The city will play host to a two-day triathlon festival across Saturday 11 June - Sundau 12 June 2022, making this the sixth year for Leeds to hold this prestigious position.
Thousands are due to race along a route lined with spectators to uniquely reach the same finish line as the very best in the business, but there's still time to add your name to the list and join the world’s best to swim, bike, run across the weekend around Roundhay Park.
It’s just one month until entries close across all distances Sunday 22 May 2022, including the GO TRI (beginner-level), sprint and standard events.
The likes of Jonny Brownlee, Georgia Taylor-Brown and Alex Yee will be focusing on this leg of the World Triathlon Championship Series ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in July- so you might even spot a sporting celeb or two during the weekend event.
Lindsay Impett, Event Director, said: “It’s just a fantastic weekend out.
“There are so many different ways to get involved that if you’re nervous about doing a standard triathlon, come and join the sprint, or if you’re nervous about joining the sprint, come and join as a relay and split the swim, bike, run with your friends.
“It’s a beautiful park - large enough to contain both the swimming and running elements, and then we’re just onto the roads for the cycling. But it is a really fantastic location for people to see such a large part of the racing from all different parts of the park.
“What makes this such a unique event is anyone can take part. You can build up from GO TRI to do a sprint triathlon, which sounds like it would be a really fast triathlon but it’s actually a shorter version than the standard distance.
As well as the enduring triathalon events, there will also be a children and family swim and run activity to ensure that the entire family can partake and ignite their interest in the sports.
Councillor James Lewis, Leader of Leeds City Council, said:
“The AJ Bell 2022 World Triathlon Championship Series Leeds is just around the corner, with only 50 days to go. As a city, we’re gearing up for the incredible atmosphere the weekend will bring and preparing to showcase our stunning Roundhay Park to the world.
“Leeds has become the home of triathlon in the UK and it’s fantastic to see so many people sharing our excitement and getting ready to take part or spectate. I’m positive it will be another truly memorable event that the city can be proud of."

Award-wining Leeds sandwich shop Silver’s Deli to open neighbourhood bakehouse
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.

This architectural conversion has taken five years to complete and there's been no expense spared, the pulpit and pews have even been kept to really keep that churchy vibe.
Here's what the listing says: "Welcome to The Old Methodist Church, originally built in 1846 and beautifully transformed over the past five years into a truly exceptional home.
"This remarkable conversion seamlessly blends contemporary living with the building’s historic charm, creating a residence that is both striking and deeply characterful.
