ITU World Triathlon Grand Final London
Nearby

Following the overwhelming success of last summer's Olympics, London's Hyde Park has been selected to host the eighth and final leg of the 2013 ITU World Triathlon Series. Bronze medallist in London 2012, home hope Jonathan Brownlee is the current defending champion; his older brother, Olympic gold medallist Alistair, took the title in 2011 but missed most of last season prior to the Olympics through injury. The course is identical to the one used during London 2012, setting the scene perfectly for a dramatic showdown between the Brownlees, who will be joined by 5,000 of the world's top triathletes (from varying age-groups) over six days of action in and around the Serpentine Boating Lake, culminating in the elite women's and men's races. Check www.london.triathlon.org for more details - including entry and ticket information.
About Hyde Park
Technically two different parks, Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are in practical terms one huge, merging expanse. The 'split' dates back to 1728 when Queen Caroline, wife of George II, took almost 300 acres from Hyde Park to form Kensington Gardens. The 350 acres that remained has become one of London's best-loved parks. More about Hyde Park
