The ride takes in: Park Avenue, Princes Avenue, Street Lane, Scott Hall Road and Stonegate Road.

The sprint route will be half the length of the standard route in all three stages and confined to the park.

As will the Go Tri Route which is half the distance of the sprint route in all three stages.

Maps of all the routes can be found here.

Andy Salmon, CEO of British Triathlon which is organising the competition, said: "Roundhay Park is a great setting to be able to host swim, bike, run. The routes provide the chance to see a lot of what the park has to offer and, having it all within the same site, makes for a great atmosphere for both the participation and elite racing.

"Providing the same finish is fantastic because it helps to connect all levels of triathlon in the one weekend. We’ll have individuals completing their first-ever event and elite teams battling it out in the exciting mixed relay all crossing the same line and we hope to see you there.

Clr Jonathan Pryor, Leeds City Council’s deputy leader and executive member for economy culture and education, said: "We are delighted to once again be hosting the World Triathlon Championship Series Leeds.
