The 2015 event was Olympian\u2019s Alistair and Jonny Brownlee\u2019s largest triathlon to date, with over 1600 registered participants. Participants got the chance to race around the brother\u2019s stomping ground near where they grew up, in the village of Bramhope.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elite triathlete James Teagle was the male winner of the sprint event in a time of 1:14:22, whilst Naomi Drakeford was fastest female in 1:31:31.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Commenting after the event, Alistair Brownlee said: \u201cIt\u2019s been a fantastic day for all involved. It\u2019s great that so many participants returned from last year, but it\u2019s also important to us that the Brownlee Tri is inspiring new triathletes. Over 30% of our participants had never competed in a triathlon before and The Collective Kids Duathlon was always busy\u201d.<\/p>\n
The free Kids Duathlon, delivered by British Triathlon Trust, was in high demand throughout the day, with over 300 children of all ages trying out running, cycling and transitions.<\/p>\n
The Brownlee brothers started the first wave at 9:30am, with Jonny completing the swim leg for his team in the Corporate Challenge relay wave at 10:30am. Participants took part in Sprint, Super Sprint and Relay races throughout the day.<\/p>\n
