Welcome to The Liverpool Triathlon
Liverpool Triathlon becomes 5150 European Championships
Liverpool Triathlon has a growing reputation as a great race on a fast course, with a full road closure at the heart of one of the world’s most iconic cities and visiting triathletes have enjoyed a great welcome.
Its credentials have now been recognised with the event honoured as the first 5150 European Championships. While still offering racing for athletes of all abilities, there will be a stronger field than ever competing for the 5150 title and the opportunity to qualifying as an age group athlete to the Hy-Vee, the world's richest triathlon with over $1m prize money on offer for both pros and age group athletes.
The city centre course takes in the iconic landmarks of Liverpool including the Liver Building, Echo Arena and the Albert Docks and with a number of events having moved due to the Olympics Liverpool 5150 is ideally placed to offer athletes a closed road race in the summer.
Liverpool Triathlon offers competitors across all distances the opportunity to experience a triathlon on fully closed roads and with the highest levels of support throughout the event.
For those who don't feel they want to compete in all three disciplines a team relay provides the ideal way to still enjoy the atmosphere of the event.
The 2012 Liverpool Triathlon route is expected to remain the same as in 2011, subject to approval from the authorities.
