ENTRIES are now being taken for this year's Liverpool Triathlon.

More than 1,500 triathletes of all abilities will race through the city's iconic Albert Docks during the one-day festival of sport on July 26.

The course takes in some of Liverpool’s world-famous landmarks.

As in previous years, the event also hosts a leg of the British Triathlon Super Series as well as the British Age-Group Standard Distance Triathlon Championships, British Elite Sprint Triathlon Championships and the British Youth and Junior Triathlon Championships.

Tri Liverpool will also provide the first opportunity for aspirant members of the Great Britain Age-Group Team to book their place at the 2016 ITU Triathlon World Championships in Mexico.

Alongside the elites and thousands of age-group competitors battling for British titles, there will also be the chance for novices to join in the fun, with a beginner's race alongside a corporate relay, for those looking to create the tri spirit in their workplace.
