Name: Arena Games Triathlon – London 2023
Start: 2023-04-08

Arena Games Triathlon Powered by Zwift returns to London and the Aquatic Centre at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for a spectacular Grand Finale, with titles and glory on the line. After a sold out 2022, fans are eager to see the greatest athletes in the world battle it out one last time for the chance to be crowned the Triathlon Esports World Champion thanks to Super League’s unique partnership with World Triathlon.

The Arena Games Triathlon Grand Finale welcomes extra athletes as they compete through heats, a repechage and a Grand Final. Heats and repechage will see two stages of swim-bike-run, while, come the final, the fastest 10 pros will race Super League’s unique Arena Games Triathlon format to decide a victor. That means 3 short, sharp and unpredictable stages that all feature swim, bike and run. There is no respite for the athletes, and an added challenge is that the order of the disciplines is shuffled each time. A pursuit style start is adopted for the final stage each time they race. The swim (200m) takes place in an Olympic sized pool, and the bike (4km), and run (1km), legs on static equipment with the racing realised in the virtual world of Zwift, the world’s leading online training and racing platform. This provides real-time, detailed data insights, allowing you to get closer than ever before to the competitors.

The SLT Arena Games was born during the COVID- 19 pandemic, and has gone from strength to strength, drawing a huge audience thanks to its innovative and exciting indoor race concept. With Arena Games Triathlon powered by Zwift, Super League Triathlon and World Triathlon have taken this concept to the next level. In 2023, the Arena Games Triathlon Championship Series will be held across three electrifying events, in equally iconic cities. At the Grand Finale, held in London, the overall winners of the series will be named the new Esports Triathlon World Champions.
