World class triathletes are set to descend on the Gold Coast on April 11, 2015.

With the 2016 Olympics on the horizon the world’s best triathletes will be hell bent on securing their spot on the team.

They will be doing this at each stop of the International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Triathlon Series, including round three on the Gold Coast on April 11.

Also with triathlon making its debut at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio there is an increasing number of para triathletes competing in events as they make their bid to claim a historic place on the team to represent their country.
