The new start will be located further west, close to Windsor Leisure Centre. Unlike previous years the swim will now go with the current of the river for the first three quarters of the 1,500m section, sticking to the south bank.

Once participants reach Eton pedestrian bridge they will turn and that’s where the real test begins with the final several hundred metres being against the flow. Everybody exits at the traditional location where transition will remain.
The new swim route is as follows:
Small improvements will also be made to the bike and run sections, which are expected to be announced soon. A record number of people have already signed up for this year’s race, taking place on 14 June, and entries will close tomorrow (2 March) at 9pm. This year’s highlights include a ‘race with the stars’ wave, giving age-groupers the chance to line up with against top athletes including Emma Pallant and Stuart Hayes.

The Bavarian city of Regensburg – one of Germany’s oldest and most beautiful – is to host a new Challenge Family long-distance triathlon in the summer of next year, finishing in the Cathedral Square of the Old Town.

The action will start on 14 August 2016 with a 3.8km swim in Lake Guggenberger, located just outside of town, followed by a 180km cycle through the Bavarian Forest Nature Reserve, finishing with a 42.2km run along the Danube before finishing in the centre of town.

With a 1,500m total elevation, the bike leg is sure to challenge athletes – the two climbs of significance are located around the 30km and 100km marks, and have a maximum elevation of around 600m. By comparison, Ironman Wales has a nearly identical total elevation of 1,530m but a maximum elevation of 174m, making the climbs much more spread out.
“Regensberg is one of Germany’s most beautiful and historic towns and I have no doubt it will attract athletes and their families from all over the world,” said Challenge CEO Zibi Szlufcik.
Ironman ran its own full-distance race in the Bavarian city from 2010 to 2012 but apparently struggled to find a workable date for the 2013 edition, and it hasn’t been run since.

David Weir, a British paratriathlete with six Olympic golds to his name, has said that the new Para Tri Series being launched today by fellow Paralympian Sophia Warner is a “great opportunity” for disabled people to have fun and take part in triathlon.

Speaking to broadcaster Chris Evans on the Radio 2 breakfast show this morning, Weir – described as one of the best athletes this country has ever produced – said the aim is to get disabled people into sport.
“That’s my dream as well, I want to see people get involved in sport. As a disabled athlete myself, when I started I just wanted to do some form of sport. I didn’t think I’d get to elite level and it was hard to find clubs that did that.”
We will be live on @BBCRadio2 with @achrisevans at 8.45am. Join us chatting about http://t.co/GLxmVzQPTG #active pic.twitter.com/HbgSYVxWW9

The Para Tri Series will begin with a launch event at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic rowing venue Dorney Lake on Sunday 9 August. It was created last November by Paralympian Sophia Warner, and will offer five different paratriathlon events, ranging from a ‘Sprint Para Tri’ for beginners (150m swim/3km bike/1km run) up to ‘Full Para Tri’ (750m swim/20km bike/5km run).

Further information, including how to register for the inaugural event, is available at www.paratri.com, with regular updates available on Twitter and Facebook.
Weir also said on the Radio 2 breakfast show this morning that he’s committed himself to racing both the Boston Marathon (20 April) and London Marathon (26 April) this year.
“I thought why not give it a shot now because it’s Olympic year next year and I won’t be doing it then, I’ll be saving myself for Rio. There’s a great opportunity to try and win both marathons in a week.”
Weir has already won the London Marathon a stunning six times, taking 2012 gold with a time of 1:32:26 and equalling Baroness Tanni-Grey Thompson’s record of six wins. He also placed on the podium 11 years in a row before a fifth-place finish in 2013. In 2014 he came a close second.
