Brownlee brothers Alistair and Jonny at Fountains Abbey
The first ever Brownlee Tri comes to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, near Ripon this weekend.
The Brownlee brothers, who competed in a nail-biting World Triathlon Grand Final last weekend in Hyde Park, are bringing the sport they have revolutionised to their home county of Yorkshire.
They will be joined tomorrow by 1,000 competitors to celebrate this inaugural sell-out event.
A super-sprint triathlon, it will start with a 400m swim in Studley Royal Lake, followed by a 10km bike ride through the medieval deer park before culminating in a 2.5km run.
