Triathlon London has many star athletes, volunteers, officials and coaches - every year we try to recognise those who have excelled, improved, contributed and create an opportunity for everybody involved to reflect and celebrate. Triathlon London's Awards Evening has become a very special date in the sporting calendar. This section provides the history and the details for this year's event.
