The London Triathlon routes
This iconic central London event gives you an incredible opportunity to swim-bike-run on closed-roads through our amazing capital city.
All competitors will swim in the Royal Victoria Dock and run around the London Docklands, cheered on by the 30,000 strong crowd. The bike route varies depending on the distance, day and category you choose.
The infamous Olympic distance events on the Sunday have a bike route like no other! You can whizz past some of London’s most infamous landmarks including the Tower of London, the London Eye and Big Ben.

AmyDid the event in 2019
This was quite different from all the countryside triathlons, but in a good way! Easy to park really close to the event, and the use of nice toilets for changing instead of a portable loo! I loved the music and vibe on the run too, when you needed that extra boost, and the crowd cheering you in!W
Waleed DDid the Olympic Sunday in 2019
It was my first time participating in a olympic distance triathlon and it was such an awesomeee experience!! Absolutely love it!!K
KSDid the Super Sprint Saturday in 2019
It was my fourth super sprint race. amazing vibes and really well organised. Even swimming on the dock didn't feel that bad because of the great atmosphere.feedback to the organisers: please consider putting back the little carper in the transition area. It was really tough running with the cleats on, on the cement floor, during transitions.

Simon CDid the Olympic Relay Saturday in 2019
All very good from a competitors point of view. The only gripe was from my supporters who said it was not easy to find their way outside to see the bike and run (swim was easy)C
Craig RDid the Olympic Relay Saturday in 2019
It was definitely down from previous years, less stalls and things to do, for athletes the domes that were at the finish the last 2 years were missed this year, nowhere for me to check my time as I finished!K
Kris FDid the Olympic Relay Saturday in 2019
Great tri but needed more to fill the hall.
The tent at the beginning was like a green house in the heat. It was the first year you did this, I'd rather just have a small pen area.
Bike ride is good but the run atmosphere is better.Did the Olympic Sunday in 2019
I've just done my 14th London Triathlon in a row and have already registered an interest for next year's event... it's become the point of reference for my fitness and thanks to the excellent course and organisation my 'must do' event each year.C

Bruce SDid the Sprint Saturday in 2019
Three years ago following an ankle operation I was told I would never run again! When a friend suggested I could take part in the London sprint Triathlon I couldn’t resist it. It was the perfect race for a comeback with people on the course throughout the day I never felt I was left behind, the organisation and volunteers were absolutely outstanding, I would love to return to London next year! Best race I’ve ever done !Did the Olympic Relay Saturday in 2019
I thought the organisation was incredible, this was my first triathlon so having it made really clear to me what I needed to was extremely helpful! I also found all the staff really helpful and welcoming which calmed my nerves. I will certainly be back next year to beat my time!
