Plan ahead as city gears up for triathlon
Yorkshire Evening Post
|July 26, 2025
If you're travelling around Leeds this weekend you may face diversions due to a major new sporting event taking place.
The inaugural Ironman Leeds triathlon is being held on Sunday with around 2,500 athletes set to tackle a 2.4-mile swim in Roundhay Park's Waterloo Lake followed by a 112-mile bike ride and a 26-mile run.
Temporary road closures will be in place in and around north Leeds to ensure that the event passes off safely and smoothly. Significant traffic disruption is expected, with the epic nature of the event - and the lengthy race times that come with it - meaning restrictions will be in force for much of Sunday.
