The International Triathlon Union (ITU), together with the London Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee (LOCOG), has published the final agenda for the triathlon event, as well as training, technical talk, and information for the 2012 London Olympics:

 

London 2012 will be the fourth time that the triathlon will compete in the Olympic Games. The event will start and finish in Hyde Park, and will run through some of London's most iconic landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, Wellington Arch, Constitution Hill and Hyde Park Corner.

Testing will begin with a 1.500m swim segment in the Serpentine. The transition will be in Hyde Park, after which the athletes will do seven laps of a bike circuit with a total of 40km.

It is a technical circuit that passes through Buckingham Palace and Wellington Arch. At the end of this segment, a 10km run awaits you, doing four laps around the Serpentine.  Click here to see the circuit map and the details of the venue
