       World Championship
       
       The ITU World Triathlon Series has seven races throughout the
       season, culminating with the Grand Final, where the world’s best
       triathletes compete head to head. This race is the most
       significant and high profile race on the global triathlon
       calendar where the World Championship crown will be decided.
       
       With the start and finish in Hyde Park, the Elite course
       showcases some of the world's most iconic landmarks including
       Buckingham Palace. The Elite will cover a distance of 1500m
       swim, 40km bike and 10km run and one of the fastest courses on
       the circuit will make this a spectacle not to be missed.
       
       Along with the Senior Elite showcase event for men and women,
       London will also host the U23 and Junior Elite divisions.
       
       Paratriathlon World Championship
       
       Paratriathlon offers a unique and inclusive global opportunity
       for athletes with physical and visual impairments to perform at
       elite levels in a modern, exciting and dynamic sport.  There are
       currently six categories for athletes with physical and visual
       impairments to compete in. Athletes will cover the sprint
       distance of 750m swim, 20km bike (handcycle/tandem) and 5km run
       (wheelchair). London will showcase the first Paratriathlon World
       Championship of the new Olympic cycle that will culminate in
       Paratriathlon making its debut at Rio 2016.
       
       Age Group World Championship
       
       Nearly 3,000 of the World’s best International Age Group amateur
       athletes will be competing to become World Champions in their
       respective 5 year age groups. With over 40 countries
       represented, Hyde Park will be an amazing place to come to and
       to watch and support these athletes. Age Group amateur athletes
       competing in the World Championship races will need to be
       nominated by their national federations. There will be an Age
       Group race over Olympic Distance (1,500m Swim, 40km Bike, 10km
       Run) as well as Sprint Distance (750m Swim, 20km Bike, 5km Run).
