Route

The route is made up multiple laps. The opening swim takes place in London Docklands; you’ll then transition to bike inside the Olympic venue of the Excel. You’ll then follow a closed road cycle route taking in some of London’s best land marks roughly following the Thames – this section is made up of multiple laps. A final transition inside the Excel before running in and around the building itself.

Tips for the big day

• Road closures make it difficult to get into London on event day, so we recommend racking your bike up the day before and taking public transport in.
• The transition hall is massive, so ensure you remember where you racked your bike to ensure minimal transition time
• Go easy on the turn backs on the bike section; it can get slippery.
• Enjoy the day and take in an amazing atmosphere!
